The owner picked two renders that tell the roof's story better than
any spec table: the stowed travel deck charging on the move and the
deployed awning as the workshop entrance. New post walks the
deploy-prop-work ritual in that order, including the fold-and-lock
check before driving off.
setViewDirection is a no-op on the perspective camera, so drive the
Coin camera directly (position plus pointAt). Scenery pass: grass,
road, background trees kept out of the camera corridors, sky
gradient, thicker props. The under-awning shot finally tells the
story: working in the shade of your own panels. Blog post updated
with the three keeper views.
The owner hand-fetched a Karosa STL past the bot walls; scale it
84:1 to the true 11.99 m, upright it, and rebuild the scene around
the real silhouette. Blog post updated to the v3 isometric; the C734
print kit is archived for a future physical model.
Second-pass procedural scene: window band and wheels on the body,
framed PV panels with distinct glass, end view showing the deployed
awning and its prop. Blog post now carries the v2 isometric.
First rendered images from the FreeCAD models: sliding-roof concept
in both states (travel stacked vs deployed awning with props, iso and
top views showing the doubled PV area) and the interior zoning through
a transparent envelope. Rendered headless through the GUI binary with
event-loop pumping after a first blank-frame attempt. Physics post
now carries the two roof views.
Sort and compress 18 site photos into domain folders (EXIF-dated,
indexed), correct battery model to Pylontech US3000C across energy
docs, and publish five backdated posts telling the story so far:
gear-before-bus, arrival, seat removal, sorting, energy architecture,
workbench. Night cab photos with an identifiable face stay out of the
public blog images.
