-------------------------------------- Product Name: Tsar Tank Copyright 09-16-2013 (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: The Tsar Tank was an unusual Russian armoured vehicle from 1915 year. It differed from modern tanks concept as it was constructed like big gun carriage. The two front spoked wheels were nearly 9 metres in diameter; the back triple wheel was smaller, only 1.5 metres in diameter to ensure maneuverability. The upper cannon turret reached nearly 8 metres high. The hull was 12 metres wide with two more cannons in the sponsons. Additional machine gun was placed in the turret under the belly. Each wheel was powered by a 190 kW Sunbeam engine. The huge wheels were intended to cross significant obstacles. However, due to miscalculations of the weight, the back wheel was prone to getting stuck in soft ground and ditches, and the front wheels were sometimes insufficient to pull it out. This led to a fiasco of tests before the high commission in August 1915. The tank remained in the location where it was tested, some 60 kilometres from Moscow until 1923 when it was finally taken apart for scrap.

Additionally there two more figures, six pounder gun and heavy machine gun, which you may use for other purposes or for additional armament for the tank. 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 applicable for them. Tiled textures and procedural materials may need adjustments in DAZ studio, Carrara 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. 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 license.txt Tsar_Tank_README.txt \Promos TH TT 02 FEATURE.jpg TH TT 03 FEATURE.jpg TH TT 04 FEATURE.jpg TT 01 CONCEPT.jpg TT 02 FEATURE.jpg TT 03 FEATURE.jpg TT 04 FEATURE.jpg TT MAIN.jpg TT THUMB.jpg \Runtime\Geometries\Tsar Tank cybertenko_tsar.obj cybertenko_tsar_6pounder.obj cybertenko_tsar_machinegun.mtl cybertenko_tsar_machinegun.obj \Runtime\Libraries\Character\Tsar Tank 6 Pounder Gun.cr2 6 Pounder Gun.png Machine Gun.cr2 Machine Gun.png Tsar Tank.cr2 Tsar Tank.png \Runtime\Libraries\Light\Tsar Tank Daylight.lt2 Daylight.png \Runtime\Libraries\Pose\Tsar Tank Red Army.png Red Army.pz2 White Guard.png White Guard.pz2 \Runtime\Textures\Reflection Maps cybertenko_enviro.jpg \Runtime\Textures\Tsar Tank cybertenko_tsar_axis.jpg cybertenko_tsar_copper.jpg cybertenko_tsar_hull_bump.jpg cybertenko_tsar_hull_red.jpg cybertenko_tsar_hull_white.jpg cybertenko_tsar_leather.jpg cybertenko_tsar_metal1.jpg cybertenko_tsar_metal2.jpg cybertenko_tsar_metal3.jpg cybertenko_tsar_metal4.jpg cybertenko_tsar_metal5.jpg cybertenko_tsar_metalplate.jpg cybertenko_tsar_rubber.jpg cybertenko_tsar_rust.jpg cybertenko_tsar_rust2.jpg cybertenko_tsar_strut.jpg cybertenko_tsar_treadplate.jpg cybertenko_tsar_treadtile.jpg cybertenko_tsar_wheels.jpg cybertenko_tsar_wheels_B.jpg cybertenko_tsar_wood.jpg \Templates bolts.jpg bullet.jpg hull.jpg wheels.jpg
