--------------------------------------------------- Product Name: Bachem Natter Rocket Plane Copyright 2026 Michael Crisafulli Contact Michael_C via Renderosity Site Mail -------------------------------------- Product Description Near the end of WW II German engineer Erich Bachem proposed a desperate counter-measure to Allied bomber raids. The Ba 349 Natter would be a piloted missile to destroy bombers. In order not to further stress German manufacturing the Natter had a wooden airframe and was built by furniture makers. A number of prototypes were built and tested, both unmanned and piloted, but the war ended before the Natter became operational. The Natters would have been launched vertically from rudimentary launch sites quickly set up in pine forests to intercept an overflying bomber squadron. The pilot would fire a single salvo of rockets at a target bomber and then glide or dive to a lower altitude where the pilot would bail out. The Natter would descend separately on its own parachute. The Bachem Natter is a poseable Poser figure, sized for Poser people. Created in Poser, it's compatible with DAZ Studio (see below for details). FIGURES o Natter o Ground support handling cart The poseable Natter figure has ERC controls at the Body level that: o Operate the control surfaces coordinated with the pilot controls o Open the hatch o Simulate the mission phases (in conjunction with a set of Flight Phases poses) PROPS o Morphing Rocket Shell load (preloaded) o Single Rocket Shell o Ground support hoisting assemblies (smart props) o Ladder CAMERAS o Full camera set positioned for easy viewing and rendering of the Bachem Natter figure. Includes main, auxiliary, left, right, top, bottom, front and back cameras. o Close up Dolly CAMs POSES o Ground support - Operations - Handling cart straps HIDE/SHOW o Flight Phases o Natter component HIDE/SHOW o Natter MAT poses o Pilot/ground crew poses LIGHT o Simple Daylight set TEXTURES Image maps up to 4000x4000. All components are UV-mapped with texture templates included. GEOMETRY All components use external geometry in the Poser geometries folder. -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 and above Compatible with DAZ Studio (see Compatibility notes below) -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: All of the content in this package was created by Michael Crisafulli (Michael_C) and may include derivatives of the following vendor/merchant resources: One or more textures used images from textures.com. Public domain graphics from Wikimedia. -------------------------------------- Notes on the Model The Bachem Natter figure is based on historical photos of various Natters, photos of modern reproductions, modern plans and scale models. "Bachem-Werke Ba 349 'Natter'" by David Myhra was an important source of information. -------------------------------------- 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/Bachem Natter" 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 Bachem Natter 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 Stick – adjusts the position of the elevons coordinated with the pilot stick Roll Stick – adjusts the position of the elevons coordinated with the pilot stick Rudder Pedals – adjusts the position of the rudders coordinated with the pilot pedals Rocket Power – changes the length of the rocket flame Booster Power – changes the length of the booster flames Miscel (Flight Phase poses use these parameters) Open Hatch Jettison Boosters Jettison Ordnance Cover – nose cover Separate Nose Release Parachute Cover Separate Tail Weapons Fire Rockets POSES Ground Support Position Natter to simulate ground handling operations (in conjunction with Handling Cart and Ground Support props) HIDE & SHOW Handling Cart straps Flight Phases Simulates mission phases using flight phase parameters, hiding and showing Natter components as appropriate HIDE & SHOW Natter components MAT Several material sets Pilot-Ground Crew Poses for M4 PROPS o Rocket ordnance load with fire morph (preloaded) o Single rocket shell o Ground support hoisting assemblies (these are smart props that must be loaded in numerical sequence) o Ladder LIGHTS Simple Daylight set 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. Close up Dolly CAMs positioned to view the cockpit and pilot ------------------------------ -- 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 Bachem Natter 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 Rocket Shell load is a prop. DAZ Studio does not apply poses to parented props when the figure is selected. A flight phase pose intended to HIDE the rockets doesn't. The prop must be hidden manually. ------------------------------ List of files contained within this product's zip files. :Documentation:Michael_C Bachem_Natter_ReadMe.txt Bachem Natter Promos.pdf Marketplace_Standard_License.txt :Runtime:Geometries:MCC:BachemNatter BachemNatterUV1-P.obj Cart1UV-P.obj HoistCablesUV-P.obj HoistUV-P.obj LadderUV-P.obj LftAssyUV-P.obj R4Mfire1.obj RocketShellUV-P.obj ShellExhaust-P.obj :Runtime:libraries:Camera:Michael_C:Bachem Natter Natter Set.cm2 Natter Set.png :Runtime:libraries:Camera:Michael_C:Bachem Natter:Dolly CAMs Cockpit 1.cm2 Cockpit 1.png Cockpit 2.cm2 Cockpit 2.png Cockpit 3.cm2 Cockpit 3.png Ladder Top.cm2 Ladder Top.png Pilot View.cm2 Pilot View.png :Runtime:libraries:Character:Michael_C:Bachem Natter Bachem Natter.cr2 Bachem Natter.png :Runtime:libraries:Character:Michael_C:Bachem Natter:Ground Support Natter Cart.cr2 Natter Cart.png :Runtime:libraries:Light:Michael_C:Bachem Natter Daylight.lt2 Daylight.png :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Bachem Natter:Flight Phases 1 Launch.png 1 Launch.pz2 2 Jettison Boosters.png 2 Jettison Boosters.pz2 3 Climb.png 3 Climb.pz2 4 Jettison Nose Cover.png 4 Jettison Nose Cover.pz2 5 Fire Rockets.png 5 Fire Rockets.pz2 6 Glide.png 6 Glide.pz2 7 Separate Nose.png 7 Separate Nose.pz2 8 Separate Tail.png 8 Separate Tail.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Bachem Natter:Gound Support 1 Natter on Cart.png 1 Natter on Cart.pz2 2 Natter being Hoisted.png 2 Natter being Hoisted.pz2 3 Natter Hoisted.png 3 Natter Hoisted.pz2 4 Natter on Tower.png 4 Natter on Tower.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Bachem Natter:Gound Support:HIDE-SHOW Cart Front Strap HIDE.png Cart Front Strap HIDE.pz2 Cart Rear Strap HIDE.png Cart Rear Strap HIDE.pz2 Cart Straps SHOW.png Cart Straps SHOW.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Bachem Natter:HIDE-SHOW !
