Orient Express

aged fantasy flying ship, althought useable into sea.


the package consists of :
7 ship figures (cr2), from the "naked" main ship to the full options ship,
1 boiler figure (useable separetely) - already included in some of the ship figures. 
1 separate steering wheel figure (useable separetely) - already included in all the ship figures.
1 separate Side "Bone" Wing figure set controlled by ERC (useable separetely) - already included in some of the ship figures.
3 Ballons props - can be saved separately by picking the balloons (i suggest the front one, better UV mapped) and saving it into prop library - already included in some of the ship figures.
1 separate Side Wing prop set - can be saved separately by picking the wings (left & right) and saving it into prop library - already included in some of the ship figures.
1 rear flap - can be saved separately by picking and saving it into prop library - already included in all the ship figures.


poseable ship parts:
4 opening doors (front and rear) leading to inner empty rooms (OpenDoor Dial)
1 hold door, to access the hold (OpenCell Dial)
1 steering wheel (Turn Dial)
1 front sail (Open Sail Dial)
1 central sail (Turn Sail)
1 top tree "wingmill" (Turn Dial)
1 helix ( (Turn Dial)
1 separate Side "Bone" Wing figure set controlled by ERC
3 Ballons props (rot y axis dial)
3 Ballon ropes props (rot any axis dial)
1 rear flap prop (rot y axis dial)
1 separate Side Wings prop set (rot x axis dial each) - left and right wings

poseable boiler parts:
2 main controls (Turn Dial)
2 inner controls dials (Turn Dial)
4 levers (TurnLever Dial)


details:
rear inside room with simple chairs and table (can be seen from outside by the rear main windows)

items details are assured by objs high subdivision by material/group regions:
from a minimum of 130 for the "naked" ship to 200+  for the full options ship,
by playing with the material shaders you can deeply change the final aspect of the model.

The actual version is for P5 or upper use ONLY, 
althought P4 or PP may use the model itself so far* it will need deep texturing (every object is UV mapped for this purpose, templates not included) by user for a satisfactory use.
* - if i will get a good number of request by P4/PP users i will provide texturing for P4 and PP versions too :)

some assorted camera views included for a fast start.

******************************************************************************************
Some of the figures consists of more than 1 figure,
if you plan to move the ship be sure to select Orient figure Body/ship before acting

if you plan to resize the full ship be sure to select Orient figure Body only before acting

you can directly delete from the scene the following parts without deleting the main figure:
- the Side Wings (both props and ERC figure)
- The Rear Flap
- The Boiler
- each Ballon and related Rope separately - can be saved separately by picking the balloons (i suggest the front Balloon, better UV mapped) and saving it into prop library

deleting the main figure may let into scene the boiler and/or the Erc Wing - in this case pick them to delete too.

model - smart starting position - when in the scene the model is smart positioned to put characters over the rear upper deck,
so to see the full ship just pick one of the cameras.

Sometime occurs, at first when clicking on one of levers or dials, to NOT see on parameter tabs the possibility to turn with dials. 
If this occurs select another part, then select dial or lever again and now get the dial.
