-------------------------------------- Product Name: Lewis Mechanical Rifle Copyright 07-21-2016 (c) Robert Blanda By: Robert Blanda Contact: Cybertenko -------------------------------------- System Requirements: PC, Poser 6 and higher, (not tested on MAC, need minor adjustments in DAZ studio, some materials may look differently in DaZ Studio) -------------------------------------- Product Description: The Maxim gun was a weapon invented by British inventor Hiram Stevens Maxim in 1883: it was the first recoil-operated machine gun. It has been called "the weapon most associated with the British imperial conquest".The mechanism of the Maxim gun employed one of the earliest recoil operated firing systems in history. The idea is that the energy from recoil acting on the breech block is used to eject each spent cartridge and insert the next one, in lieu of a hand-operated mechanism. The Maxim gun design required water cooling, giving it the ability to maintain its rate of fire for far longer than air-cooled guns. The disadvantage of this was that it made the gun less flexible in attack than the lighter air-cooled weapons. Trials demonstrated that the Maxim could fire 600 rounds per minute.Compared to modern machine guns, the Maxim was heavy, bulky, and awkward. A lone soldier could fire the weapon, but it was usually operated by a team of men. Apart from the gunner, other crew were needed to speed reload, spot targets, and carry and ready ammunition and water. Several men were needed to move or mount the heavy weapon.

Unpacked runtime size is: 80 MB Ownership Statement: All of this product's content was created by Robert Blanda and may include derivatives of the following vendor/merchant resources: Royalty free textures from www.cgtextures.com. Installation Instructions: Poser: Unzip into any poser runtime. You will find the items in Character, Pose and Props folders named Cybertenko/Maxim Gun. Geometries, Textures and Reflection Maps are stored in respective folders. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: Gun Model is made as fully rigged ERC coded poser figure. All moving parts have set proper dials with limits on, redundant dials are hidden. There are several ERC channels for operating the gun or alternating its look. Look at provided promo pictures for further guides how to use this model. Model is scaled to poser people, and is sutitable for close-ups as well as for animation or still picture rendering. Model is completely UV mapped. For certain parts of models are provided texture templates, other material zones are textured by procedural materials or by tiled textures and templates are not applicable for them. Tiled textures and procedural materials may need adjustments in DAZ studio, Carrara or other 3d applications. All poser props have extracted geometry to obj. mesh files which you can use for importing to other modeling or rendering application. One or more textures on this 3D model have been created with images from CGTextures.com. These images may not be redistributed by default, please visit www.cgtextures.com for more information. -------------------------------------- Files included in product: \Documentation LICENSE.txt Maxim_Gun_README.txt \Promo MG 00 CONCEPT.jpg MG 00 MAIN.jpg MG 01 FEATURES.jpg MG 02 FEATURES.jpg MG 03 FEATURES.jpg MG 04 FEATURES.jpg MG 05 FEATURES.jpg MG 06 FEATURES.jpg MG 07 FEATURES.jpg MG 08 EXAMPLE.jpg MG-00-THUMB.jpg \Runtime\Geometries\cybertenko\Maxim Gun cybertenko_maxim_ammocase.obj cybertenko_maxim_basket.obj cybertenko_maxim_can.obj cybertenko_maxim_gun.obj cybertenko_maxim_hose.obj cybertenko_maxim_long_belt.obj cybertenko_maxim_muzzleflash.obj cybertenko_maxim_short_belt.obj cybertenko_maxim_spentshells.obj cybertenko_maxim_telescope.obj cybertenko_maxim_tripod.obj \Runtime\Libraries\character\Cybertenko\Maxim Gun !
