The model is based several modern sets of speculative plan drawings and photos of scale models. The cockpit details are based on photos of Japanese Zero and other WW2 aircraft equipement. -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Unzip files to your main Poser directory, being sure to check "Use Folder Names" and the files will unpack to their proper location. Refer to the file list below for file locations. Components are found in the "Michael_C/Ki-98" folder within each of the Poser sub-libraries (Figure, Pose, etc.). Note that although most of the Poser files may be moved to other locations, the geometries and textures MUST be in the listed locations. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips: The Ki-98 figure uses ERC controls at the Body level. For easy access to the controls the figure's Body loads selected by default. PARAMETER DIALS - The parameter dial groups load collapsed for convenience. Open a group or subgroup to use its dials. Transform Resize - This dial changes the size of the entire figure. Other standard transform dials control rotation and position of the figure within the scene. Control Pitch CTL – The elevator operates in concert with the pilot's control stick. Bank CTL – The ailerons operate in concert with the control stick. Rudder CTL – The rudders operate in concert with the rudder pedals. Lower Flaps Throttle – Move the throttle control lever Spin Propeller Landing Gear Raise LG – The main and nose landing gear are retracted coordinated with the pilot control lever. Spin Wheels – The LG wheels spin together. Miscel Open Canopy POSES M4 & V4 Pilot poses (as-loaded aircraft position) Propeller HIDE – Hide to use Propeller Blur prop MATs Default (as-loaded) material set 2 Worn paint MATs PROPS Smart props Propeller Blur Cannon Bursts for nose-mounted cannons LIGHTS Simple Day and night sets CAMERAS Full Set - All the standard cameras are positioned to show the complete figure in its default loaded position. Note that adjustments may be necessary depending on your document window setup. Dolly CAMs Various cockpit view Dolly cameras. ------------------------------ -- DAZ Studio Compatibility -- Tested in DAZ Studio 4.21 to the extent that parameter controls and various figure poses work as intended. I've made no attempt to convert or optimize materials. The Ki-98 figure loads, operates and renders in DAZ Studio. DAZ Studio uses different camera designations from Poser so the included camera presets don't all work. Those that work may require adjustment. The Gun Burst glow (ambient) material channel is incompatible with Studio. The diffuse color channel works. ------------------------------ List of files contained within this product's zip files. :Documentation:Michael_C Marketplace_Standard_License.txt Mansyu_Ki-98_Fighter_ReadMe.txt Ki-98 Promo.pdf :Runtime:Geometries:MCC:Ki-98 Ki-98UVa-P.obj PropBlur98UV-P.obj XXXGunBurst.obj :Runtime:libraries:Camera:Michael_C:Ki-98 Ki-98 Set.cm2 Ki-98 Set.png :Runtime:libraries:Camera:Michael_C:Ki-98:Dolly CAMs Cockpit 1.cm2 Cockpit 1.png Cockpit 2.cm2 Cockpit 2.png Cockpit 3.cm2 Cockpit 3.png Cockpit 4.cm2 Cockpit 4.png :Runtime:libraries:Character:Michael_C:Ki-98 Ki-98.cr2 Ki-98.png :Runtime:libraries:Light:Michael_C:Ki-98 Daylight.lt2 Daylight.png Moonlight.lt2 Moonlight.png :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Ki-98 Pilot M4.png Pilot M4.pz2 Pilot V4.png Pilot V4.pz2 Propeller HIDE.png Propeller HIDE.pz2 Propeller SHOW.png Propeller SHOW.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Ki-98:MATs Default MAT.png Default MAT.pz2 Worn MAT.png Worn MAT.pz2 Worn MAT 2.png Worn MAT 2.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Props:Michael_C:Ki-98 Cannon Bursts.png Cannon Bursts.pp2 Propeller Blur.png Propeller Blur.pp2 :Runtime:textures:MCC:IBL cloudscape-day.jpg pero-kalimero-made-night.jpg :Runtime:textures:MCC:Ki-98 MC-98-Cockpit1.jpg MC-98-Cockpit2.jpg MC-98-Cockpit2Trans.jpg MC-98-Flame.jpg MC-98-FlameTr.jpg MC-98-GaugeFaces.jpg MC-98-Inner.jpg MC-98-InnerBump.jpg MC-98-LandingGear.jpg MC-98-LandingGearBump.jpg MC-98-PropBlur.jpg MC-98-PropBlurTrans.jpg MC-98-Skin.jpg MC-98-SkinBump.jpg MC-98-SkinWorn.jpg MC-98-Wings.jpg MC-98-WingsBump.jpg MC-98-WingsWorn.jpg MC-98-seat.jpg Templates\Michael_C\Ki-98 Blur.bmp Cockpit1.bmp Cockpit2.bmp Flame.bmp GaugeFaces-Projection.bmp Glasses.bmp Inner.bmp LandingGear.bmp Seat.bmp Skin1.bmp Wings.bmp
