Sorry Stan, have to admit I dont know what ADHD is ? but it doesn't sound good so I hope you can get the treatment for it.
As you are airplane  buff i've posted a couple of renders in my gallery
Thanks for the shareCG link. Ive had some good models from Ontarget         https://www.ontarget3d.com/site/

Basically it means I have the attention span of a house cat, and problems finishing things. It's why I have issues with tutorials with a lot of steps. {and why my spelling is so bad}

I'm not up for the drugs though. When I was a young teen I was diagnosed with manic desresion; bypolar. That was 40 years ago and the drugs they put me on turned me in to a zombie for 3 years; till I quit taking them. I went from 180lbs to 250lbs over that time. At 53 it is not an issue, I'm not bypolar, just a bit moody I've learned to recognise my mood swings and what to do about them; actually youtube and the search term "oops" does a lot to stop the depression, or lessen how long or severe I am depressed. When I come up I try to focus that energy in to something constructive.Once I was through the teen years it was not near as severe. 

The next scene in "the flight" is a close up of the lead pilot spotting the enimy below. I'm trying to do a soft cloth scarf blowing using directinal force. But the scarf keeps getting stuck in the planes fusilage, and I'm not quite sure how to fix it.

I've probably built over 200 WW1 scout plane models. I actually got in to CG because of them. One of the first things I found online was a remote control plane sim. It was desined for the person to fly the sim with their actual remote control plane control. It was quite a nice sim, but most of the WW1 planes were very wrong in many ways, so I got in to moding, modeling, uvmapping, and texturing to have more acurate WW1 scout planes to fly. I had modeled an Airco DH2 and a Newport 11 bebe, and was working on 2 prewar planes the Morane-Saulnier N, and Fokker EIII. Lost it all to my first virus.

{if phonics worked that would all be spelled right lol }

Hmm. Do to an over sight I need to start this one again. 3rd time.

Note: make sure Poser planes are Poser scale before duplicating. Luckely I've got parts of this down to where I can set them up fast and the clouds are fine so I simply have to replace the planes with the right scale ones; so I can do the close up scene of M3.

Why does scale always seem to be arbitrary? Has in all the time i have been doing this.

I had started "the flight" with a single albatross and M3. So at that time the scene was to scale. I deleted M3 because I didn't need 6 of him in the scene. Duplicated the prop plane, and used the included jasta skins. Saved as .car. I had the scene in and out of carrara a dozen or so time working on clouids, motions, shaders ect. Then decided to put M3 back in to the lead plane for a close up. Looked like he was setting on a remote controled plane. Don't know when the scale chenged.

Right now though I am addressing another issue I saw when working on the close up. The textures for the planes are a bit rough for a close up, so I am cutting it apart so I can runt he various pieces through the Genetica beta. New to Genetica 4 is direct object mapping. Fun stuff

Right now I have it in Hex to cut apart by it's shader zones, then I can run the individual objects through G4 to texture. I'm going to try not to have to reuvmap so the textures I make can be used on the origenal model; we'll see how that goes. But I am going to try to show off genetica a bit and not import any textures to apply, try to make them all procedual so I can reuse the texture build on other planes.

I've got a dozen or so hours in on this texture build. I'ts about as accurate as I am going to get with a texture. Now that I have a good bump map I can use it with the included skins, but I could also retexture using the Genetica texture build.  Now, back to the animation that started this lol

Well minor bad news has turned my usual pale blue melencholy to a deep blue funk, so I am sort of out of this for a bit, just feeling dispondent.

It's hard to finish scenes...  with or without ADHD....

Don't be blue Stan, be crankypants! That's what I love! LOL

I'm almost twice the age of everyone I work with... I hate it. I am always sucking in my gut and hiding my teeth.  

I'd be happy to get on medicaid, at least then I could get the testing done the Doc wanted done a year and a half ago.

And I'm not sure about ritalin. I don't know what they had me on as a teen for bipolar, but I really would rather not go there again.

I've found somehting that works quite nice for me. Slows my mind down so I can concentrate and get things done. 

This started with me checking DMI cars for new models yesterday. Sice then I have sliced the body off the car to take in to Genetica 4 to skin it. Dropped the origenal model in to carrara; had to make the body shader invisable because I had to reuvmap the shell to texture it in Genetica. And then imported and aligned the shell. Dropped it in to my car stage, scaled it way up, dropped in M4, and have been busy with it most of the morning; when I wasn't being the good son.

This render is pretty well default except for the antiA. I'll take mike and the car out to get he rest of the lighting set up; wips start geting real long to render with everything in scene lol A few more runs through genetica to get the stripes on all body surfaces lol and maybe change the Logo. That isn't an ACR logo. they recently changed their stylish racing game logo to a company letter head    Called it rebranding or something, looked abismal to me.

And a picture to show off why I love the new texturing on the model in Genetica 4, yes a preview on the model so all adjustments can be made in app. 

Ok Holly, I'll give you a good laugh. Nothing in your mouth right?

I got banned from the MS flight sim chat by none other the the CEO/publisher 

What can I say. Microsoft released thier flight sim {10.5} Free, then abandonded all development of it. But they still charge you to play. Tell me I didn't have plenty of ammo lol It's free to fly, not free to advance.

Not carrara. Sorry, I just can't manage to model in carrara.

Also testing the system, you'll see lol 1-1
