          I run into this a lot. πŸ˜†

          My trick is to make the opposite side component Unique and then apply the lettering right way reading.

            Agreed but, the geometry does not always 'like' this which drive me a little potty time.

            Well, Mr Bentine thought so.

                  Tickling the edges now, not too much change at one given time because it is finer changes being made. Moving to Gallery now as I think I am getting there now.

                    Looking at alternate HDRI and static rotor options.

                      Shot looks great, but the scale is off with the HDRI there, Looks tiny now, like a 1:5 scale RC Heli?

                        I know, waiting for someone to spot that. Laughed my head of when I did. 🀣

                          Render looks great!

                          Yeah HDRI scaling can be a bugger. Still looks good. πŸ‘

                            Fleuch has suggested some tree's, OK, more a grass field but shows how it pays to be careful when choosing colours/textures in different light setting. The codes have almost completely vanished. The straight lines in the ground plane are the shadow catcher which I must address.

                              I like the background image and the ground and the way you got them to blend together. I have not been able to get things to blend that good. Where did you get the background image? What texture/material did you use for the ground? My problem might also be my camera angle.

                              I like the render. πŸ‘ Fletch always seems to come up with good suggestions. πŸ˜„

                                That image has a simple flat plane and a jpg version of the hdri, rotated to match the hdri so 0 degrees here.

                                I have used an infinite plane (Extensions - Twilight render - Objects - Infinite plane) with the next render painted with a simple colour, Alice blue in this case. Colour is then linked to the texture via the texture/finish dialogue box in Twilight. Not perfect as there is still a straight line visible in the hdri/infinite plane but meh.

                                  Thanks for sharing this info. I don’t think I have that background. I have used the infinite plain before. Lately I have been enjoying using the Skatter plugin for adding/placing foliage in the model. That will not work correctly (I don’t think) with the infinite plain. Can/would you share the background image?

                                    I certainly will mate, thought I already had but essentially I am an old git so forgetful at times.

                                    Too big or file type not allowed. Working on a dropbox attachment, give me a minute or so.

                                      That turned out nice! πŸ‘

                                      I have that same HDRI and used it many times.
