    My Engine Animation WorkFlow

    WARNING: this is strictly speaking a non-car related post… it’s more about animating 3D infotainment videos. This post has mainly been written so I can remember what, and why, I did what I did to create my Engine Cooling Animation. It will also be interesting to Blender Heads setting up a mixed OS render farm…

  • Day 65 – Home Again

    Day 65 – Home Again

    And so our mini adventure ends. There’s not much to say about the day itself and I’ll leave the conclusions to further posts where I hope to pull some more considered thoughts together about the trip. However, for today, we did manage to get off from our one night stop reasonably early, by 8:30. And…

  • Day 64 – Avignon to Reims and 15 Seconds of Fame

    Day 64 – Avignon to Reims and 15 Seconds of Fame

    Right, the last full day on tour! Today we’re going to make as much progress up through France as we can, within reason. It had rained over night but the mud outside the van was still pretty resistant under foot – not like the mud bath that was the volcanic mush in Pompei! In the…

  • Day 63 – Avignon

    Day 63 – Avignon

    Nine weeks! So we’d performed a bit of a “left turn Clyde” to get to Avignon and away from the direct route home via Switzerland. We’d visited Avignon last year in August but wilted in the sun and didn’t do any of the sights or town. This detour now, in October, was therefore intended to…

  • Day 62 – Travel from Lucca to Avignon

    Day 62 – Travel from Lucca to Avignon

    Not much to report today. We set off from the yard at the back of the garage for Avignon after some breakfast and coffee/tea, at about 8:30. The concept of using a back yard to house camper and with a minimal toilet and shower setup was quite appealing. We were right in the centre of…

  • Day 61 – Leaving Naples and a bit of Lucca

    Day 61 – Leaving Naples and a bit of Lucca

    So, we’re on the way home! We’re heading north now, and going to be taking big chunks out of the 2,500km we have to get there. We had a spectacular thunderstorm roll through the bay of Naples last night, from about 11 until 1 – sheet and fork lightning. The wind got up too, which…

  • Day 60 – Naples

    Day 60 – Naples

    Not much to report today. We trained it into Naples, wandered around and did the Underground Naples tour. Our start wasn’t too rushed this morning, we were hoping to get the 9:30 train from the Villa Regina train station so we walked the 15 minutes to the station rather than take the bikes. We’re still…
