Product Name: Balloon Victoria Copyright 10-20-2011 (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) -------------------------------------- Product Description: Model represents unique long distance travel balloon described in Jules Verne´s book Five weeks in a balloon. This particalucar balloon has special construction for changing its altitude in considerably easier way than any other balloons of this time. Balloon basket is equiped with ingenious device for electrolythic hydrogene form water thanks to a powerful electric. Resulting hydrogen is then used in blowpipe for producing hot steam heating hydrogene in smaller inner balloon allowing balloon to rise or descent when hydrogene is allowed to cool. Steam is further used for compressing hydrogene into storage bottle and for pressurizing the baloon. Small protion of produced hydrogene is used also for kitchen burner on the deck. There are slight changes in our design - like boiler for producing steam for heating the gas, which seems a bit (really a bit) safer than heating it directly by blowpipe like in a book. But still, our model has all desribed parts, including electrolythic device, batteries, two balloons one inside the other, heating system inside outer balloon and so on.

You will find the items in Camera, Hand, Light, Poses and Props folders named Balloon Victoria. Geometries, Textures and Reflection Maps are stored in respective folders. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: Model of Balloon Victoria is made as "Poser Playset" - multipart, variable and modular design concept where the final model is made of several independent parts - props alowing variable and creative approach for users. Unlike Construction Kits you can make less whole different models from the parts, but you can make more variants of the basic model, alternate the look and disposition of individual parts and props. Model of Balloon Victoria consists of several independent parts that forms the logical structure of actual aircraft. Basicaly there two main parts - balloon with its netting and basket with all inner equipment. So you will also gain basic knowledge how famous french writer imagined this fantastic balloon. Poser Playset Concept allows you to use only parts you may want and hide or delete the others. You can easily alternate look of your scene and renders. You may for example delete observatory platform prop for more conventional look of balloon, delete or hide all technical equipment inside the basket and get more inner space, delete, hide or even duplicate windy ropes along the balloon and so on. Several props are made as variable. Since the space inside the balloon basket is rather limited hammocks for all three passengers are made as foldable. You can choose to load either day variant (with beds folded to basket sides) or night variant, where all hammocks are unfolded for sleeping. Similarly there are two variants for water pump hose - you can either load wind up hose for cruising time or extended down for suction water from any water body on the land. Same is for anchor, there is "on board" variant and "dropped" variant. For the second, anchor is made from three parented props - the beam, the cable and anchor itself. You can use named dials for setting the angle of anchor and cable, so the balloon will loook like anchored to the ground. Other two props, flag and windy ropes have set dial for turning them around the balloon center to fly along the desired direction of wind. Used dials for moving the parts are named, so you will know how to operate it. Limits are set for these dials, so it prevent any intersection with other objects. But you can also lift the limits or remove moving parts at all. Model comes with many camera presets designed mostly to give you complex knowledge about the model topography. For final renders you may want to narrow used camera focuses. Model is scaled to poser people, so you can instantly use it for rendering pictures or animation with most popular poser people figures. Most of model textures are available for long distance shots as well as for closeups, but you may need to adjust scale or bump values for some closeup renders. You will find also three included light presets, one for daylight, second for the sunset and the third for nocturnos. Product comes with five M4 poses, two of them use included bonus smart prop - the telescope, the other three send Michael 4 to climb in the balloons rope ladders. Provided poses can be used also for other figures with minor adjustments. 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 aplicable for them. Tiled textures and procedural materials may need adjustments in DAZ studio, Carrara or 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. Map props are made from low resolution images from www.ancestryimages.com/(used with persmission). 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 the Product: Documentation Balloon_Victoria_README.txt License.txt \Promos Balloon Victoria 1 CONCEPT.jpg Balloon Victoria 2 FEATURE.jpg Balloon Victoria 3 BASKET.jpg Balloon Victoria 4 ENGINEERING.jpg Balloon Victoria 5 VARIANTS.jpg Balloon Victoria 6 PROPS.jpg Balloon Victoria 7 PROPS.jpg Balloon Victoria 8 CAMERAS LIGHTS.jpg Balloon Victoria 9 EXAMPLES.jpg main promo.jpg thumb.jpg \runtime\Geometries\Balloon Victoria alarmclock.obj anchor beam.obj anchor.obj anchorcable.obj anchordown.obj avionics.obj balloon.obj basin.obj basket.obj basketladder.obj basketring.obj battery.obj blockntackle.obj boiler.obj booksA.obj booksB.obj bottle.obj bowden.obj burner.obj compass.obj cupboard.obj electrode.obj ferfolded.obj ferghammock.obj flag.obj floorgrate.obj gaschute.obj gashose.obj gasintake.obj glass1.obj glass2.obj grates.obj heater.obj hosedown.obj hoseup.obj Htank.obj innerballoon.obj innervalve.obj joebed.obj joefolded.obj joefolded_Mirror.obj kenfolded.obj kenhammock.obj lantern.obj log.obj map1.obj map2.obj meteobox.obj netting.obj obsplatform.obj platform.obj ropeladder.obj sandbag1.obj sandbag2.obj sandbag3.obj sandbag4.obj sandbag5.obj sandbag6.obj sextant.obj spareparts.obj spoon1.obj spoon2.obj table.obj teacup1.obj teacup2.obj teaplate1.obj teaplate2.obj teapot.obj Telescope M4.obj telescope.obj tent.obj tentropes.obj tray.obj valve.obj waterpump.obj watertanks.obj weaplocker.obj windropes.obj \runtime\Libraries\Camera\Balloon Victoria 01.cm2 01.png 02.cm2 02.png 03.cm2 03.png 04.cm2 04.png 05.cm2 05.png 06.cm2 06.png 07.cm2 07.png 08.cm2 08.png 09.cm2 09.png 10.cm2 10.png 11.cm2 11.png 12.cm2 12.png 13.cm2 13.png 14.cm2 14.png 15.cm2 15.png 16.cm2 16.png 17.cm2 17.png 18.cm2 18.png 19.cm2 19.png 20.cm2 20.png \runtime\Libraries\hand\Balloon Victoria M4 RH Telescope.hd2 M4 RH Telescope.png \runtime\Libraries\Light\Balloon Victoria Balloon Victoria Day.lt2 Balloon Victoria Day.png Balloon Victoria Night.lt2 Balloon Victoria Night.png Balloon Victoria Sunset.lt2 Balloon Victoria Sunset.png \runtime\Libraries\pose\Balloon Victoria\M4 Poses M4 Balloon Ladder.png M4 Balloon Ladder.pz2 M4 Basket Ladder.png M4 Basket Ladder.pz2 M4 Basket Observator.png M4 Basket Observator.pz2 M4 Platform Observator.png M4 Platform Observator.pz2 M4 Rope Ladder.png M4 Rope Ladder.pz2 \runtime\Libraries\props\Balloon Victoria Anchor Down.png Anchor Down.pp2 Anchor On Board.png Anchor On Board.pp2 Balloon Victoria.png Balloon Victoria.pp2 Hammocks Folded.png Hammocks Folded.pp2 Hammocks Unfolded.png Hammocks Unfolded.pp2 Telescope M4.png Telescope M4.pp2 Water Hose Down.png Water Hose Down.pp2 Water Hose Up.png Water Hose Up.pp2 \runtime\Textures\Balloon Victoria balloon burlap.jpg balloon burlap2.jpg balloon burlap2_B.jpg balloon burlap2_S.jpg balloon burlap3.jpg balloon burlap_B.jpg balloon burlap_S.jpg banner2.jpg basket.jpg basket_B.jpg basket_S.jpg BooksA.jpg BooksA_B.jpg BooksB.jpg BooksB_B.jpg Bronze.jpg Bronze_B.jpg burlap.jpg clock.jpg copper.jpg flag.jpg hammockwicker.jpg hammockwicker_B.jpg hammockwicker_S.jpg hardleather.jpg hardleather_B.jpg metalplate.jpg metalplate_b.jpg mildrust.jpg mildrust_B.jpg mildrust_S.jpg oldleather.jpg ornament.jpg rope1.jpg rope1_B.jpg rope1_S.jpg rope2.jpg rope2_B.jpg rope2_S.jpg rope3.jpg rope3_B.jpg rope3_S.jpg rusted1.jpg rusted1_b.jpg rusted3.jpg rusted3_b.jpg signs.jpg signs2.jpg stripes.jpg tent.jpg Treadplate.jpg treadtile.jpg treadtile_B.jpg verdigris.jpg Wicker4.jpg Wicker4_B.jpg Wicker4_S.jpg Wooddark.jpg woodendesk.jpg woodendesk_B.jpg woodendesk_S.jpg WoodFine.jpg Woodlight.jpg Woodlight_B.jpg Woodlight_S.jpg Woodplanks.jpg woodplanks2.jpg woodplanks2_B.jpg woodplanks2_S.jpg Woodplanks_B.jpg Woodplanks_S.jpg \runtime\Textures\Reflection Maps\Balloon Victoria enviro.jpg \Templates avionics signs.jpg balloon_banner.jpg basket wicker.jpg furniture hardwood.jpg furniture lightwood.jpg furnitutre mesh.jpg spare parts wicker.jpg table wood.jpg teacup.jpg tray silver.jpg
