Blackhawk Helicopter model for Poser & VUE Copyright Ownership belongs to RPublishing. This product was originally created by and acquired through VanishingPoint. All files in this package were created by John Hoagland and mrsparky. _____________FOR VUE______________ ------------------- INSTALLING THE FILES -------------------- Simply Unzip ALL the files in this archive to any directory of your choice. --------------------- HOW TO USE THIS MODEL --------------------- 1. Start Vue Infinite. 2. Click File -> Import Object 3. Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the files to. 4. Select BlackHawk and click Open. ___________FOR POSER_______________________________ Directions: Extract the files into the specified folders: Put the obj file into Runtime\Geometries\JHoagland\ Put the cr2/ rsr/ png (figure files) into Runtime\Libraries\Character\JHoagland Put the pz2/ rsr/ png (pose files) into Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Blackhawk Put the pp2/ rsr/ png (prop files) into Runtime\Libraries\Props\JHoagland Put the jpg files (textures) into Runtime\Textures\JHoagland\Blackhawk --The gif files are the texture templates and are not used on the models. They are included in case you want to build your own textures. The mpi file is the "figure definition file" for use with my MAT Pose Creator (available at the Marketplace). Open the program, go to File > Import, select this file, and you can easily create your own MAT poses. Notes: 1) Poser 4 users do not need to extract the png files and Poser Pro Pack and Poser 5 users do not need to extract the rsr files. 2) If there is no template for a material (such as "White"), then that material uses a solid color. Using the figure: 1) Start Poser. 2) Before you load the figure, you will need to convert the "_bump.jpg" files to bump maps. (Although Pro Pack and Poser 5 users are able to use jpg's as bump maps, the MAT poses require bum files.) 2a) Go to the Materials Editor (Render > Materials). 2b) Select the Ground, click the "Load" button next to the "Bump Map" and browse for the "_bump.jpg" files. Poser will then convert it to "bum" format. Click the Cancel button when done (this will cancel the material change, but not undo the conversion). 3) Go to the Figures > JHoagland Library 4) Add the Blackhawk to your scene. Notes: 1) It will seem "big" and may fill the scene. This is normal- it is scaled so Poser figures can sit in the cockpit. 2) As usual for my vehicles, all of the moving parts have corresponding dials on the Body. Unlike my previous vehicles, though, the parts can ONLY be moved by using the Body's dials. 3) The rear landing gear, upper wings, upper blades, rear blades, and interior seating use "geometry swapping" and can be changed by adjusting the "RearWheelType", "RailWithWings", etc. dials. Please note that you will only see a change when the dials are whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, etc. 4) Additional props are included and are parented to the Blackhawk. Feel free to add these to suit your taste. Additional Notes: 1) The Blackhawk comes with "blade blur" props- these simulate the spinning of the blades without the need for any kind of "motion blur" rendering effect. To switch between the regular blades and "blurrer" blades, simply adjust the parameter dial. Please note that, you will need to hide the upper blades. This can easily be done with the included poses... or you can use the Hierarchy Editor to manually hide them. 2) Use the "RearBladeBlur" and "UpperBladeBlur" MAT poses to change the "blade blur" transparency map. Changing the transparency map does NOT change the color. 3) Like other Poser figures, the Blackhawk uses full body morphs to control its body parts. If you add two of these figures to the scene, you may get "cross-talk" (where one figure affects the other). 4) Unlike other helicopters, the landing gear on the real Blackhawk helicopter does not retract. Due to this fact, there are no "RaiseLowerGear" dials on this model. Usage License: You are completely free to use this figure in any commercial or non-commercial render, image, or animation.
