Well, a parabola is a ballistic curve - and that's what the trouble is with this repaint I am working on.
Critical? Me? I only work in QA....
But take a look at the shot here (clickable to show full-size). You'll see what's getting my goat. That part of the fuselage covered by the trimlines consists of 10 segments on the 3D model. A Parabola drawn in Corel Draw is round - so it needs to be chopped into straighter bits...
If only I could paint 15 to 20 parallel lines - on the 3D model - it'd be a breeze! But we painters don't have the models at hand - nor the software all the time.
(Tobias - if you're reading this...
)I could then "unskin" the model and use the now curved lines to do the job.
The curved red and blue lines are straight on the Corew Paint image and the coloured trim lines are currently parabolic. If you look closely, you'll see a recurve towards the fuselage sides.
Now "that" is the annoying factor.

Just a thought - this "comments" thingie allows you to make you're own remarks - I have enabled this, but with verification and moderation activated - this means you will have to do a manual verification before you can post and I will have to "allow" comments before you can see them.
Sorry - but i do want to keep spam down and spirits up.
