Refer to the file list below for file locations. In general, Brooke Gun Poser files will be found in "Michael_C/BrookeGun" folders. Note that although most of the Poser files may be moved to other locations, the geometries and textures MUST be left in the listed locations. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips: To access the controls the Brooke Gun figure Body is selected by default. Parameter dials - The parameter dial groups load collapsed for convenience. Open a group or subgroup to use it. Transform These standard dials control the overall scale, position an orientation of the Brooke Gun. Gun Three dials control the gun: Elevate Gun – The Gun barrel is elevated or depressed and the elevation apparatus turns in concert. Roll Gun Out – The upper gun carriage rolls toward or away from the gun port with the carriage block and tackle moving in concert. Turn Gun – The main gun carriage rotates: 0 – straight forward or aft +1 - 90 degrees CCW -1 – 90 degrees CW CW and CCW Block Sets The CW and CCW Block Sets found in the Extras folder load to match the Brooke Gun in the 0 rotation position. There are controls to rotate each block set and to extend it but, because of the complex math necessary, controls are not integrated with rotating the gun (see below about manually integrating). Note also that the three "pull" operate controls are NOT used with the supplied gun crew poses. Each set includes two subsets, one positioned on each side of the gun carriage, each with the following controls. Transform: These standard controls rotate each block set about its base block attachment point to the carriage. Operate: Extend – the end block is moved away from or toward the base block. Pull – There is an integrated rope that may be pulled from the base block. Pull up, Pull to side – these rotate the integrated rope. (The included gun crew poses use separate pull rope props, not the integrated rope.) Each block set loads with one subset parented to a master subset. To use these at other rotation positions, the master block, which loads parented to the UNIVERSE, should be parented to the Gun Subcarriage, as should each of the gun crew (as described below). Each base block will rotate correctly with the gun but the end block will have to be manually extended (using the Extend-Retract Operate dial) and rotated around its base block (using the rotate Transform dials) to stay "attached" to the deck ring. POSES M4 and V4 Crew poses - Turn off IK before posing figures. M4 and V4 poses are positioned to match the as-loaded Brooke Gun figure. Poses may require some adjustment for clothing. (Be sure to parent the figures to the Brooke Gun figure as described below if you wish to move them in concert.) Note that the gun crew poses all use the supplied "rope" smart props. These will match the CW and CCW blocks correctly. The integrated block and tackle ropes controlled with the Operate "pull" dials are not used with the supplied poses. Roll Out Poses The Pull Left and Right poses (corresponding rope smart Rope Left and Right props should be loaded from the Gun Crew folder) are set for the 0 Rotate Gun position. To use them for other gun positions: With gun in 0 position = o Load and select M4 or V4, set Pull pose and load corresponding rope prop. o Set M4 or V4 figure parent to Gun Subcarriage. o M4 or V4 and rope will now rotate in concert with the gun. The Hide Wood Deck pose is provided to facilitate using the rotating gun mount in your own environment (a fort, ship, etc,). The Hide Deck-Subcarriage pose allows using the gun and rolling carriage in your environment. Rotate Poses These poses are uses with the clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) Block Set figures (located in the Extras folder) and with the corresponding Rope Rotate smart prop. There is a pose, number 1 or 2, for each of the two block sets. Rotate Pose Example This is a step-by-step example usage with M4 and the CW Block Set. 1. Load Brooke Gun figure. 2. Load CW Block Set from BrookeGun/Extras subfolder. 3. Load & select M4. 4. Load pose M4 CW Pull 1 from BrookeGun/Gun Crew/Rotate subfolder. 5. Select M4 and load M4 Rope Rotate from Props/BrookeGun/Gun Crew Props subfolder. This will load parented to M4. M4 figure will be correctly positioned on the left side of the cannon and appear to be working the left side CW block and tackle (CW BlockSet). 6. Load and select second M4. 7. Load pose M4 CW Pull 2 from BrookeGun/Gun Crew/Rotate subfolder. 8. Repeat step 5 with this second M4. This M4 figure will be correctly positioned facing the other way on the right side of the cannon and appear to be working the right side CW block and tackle (CW BlockSet 1). PROPS Casement Segment – this segment with a gun port loads parented to the integrated Gun Deck. Blank Casement – this segment, without a gun port, loads next to above Casement Segment. Duplicate and reposition as desired. Blank Deck – this loads next to the integrated deck and may be duplicated and moved as desired. Alternate Gun Mount – This is a fixed (non-rotating) mount. Use the Hide Deck-Subcarriage pose when loading the alternate mount. ------------------------------ -- DAZ Studio Compatibility - ------------------------------ The Brooke Gun figure loads, operates, and renders well in DAZ Studio. DAZ Studio does not load the Rotate CCW and CW Block Sets properly. The master block set is located properly but the second set is not properly parented to the master and loads in the wrong position. It must be positioned manually. It will also have to be parented to the Subcarriage in order to rotate with the gun. --------------------------------------------------- List of files contained within this product's zip files. :Documentation:Michael_C Brooke Gun ReadMe.txt Marketplace_Standard_License.txt :Runtime:Geometries:MCC:Brooke AltDeck.obj AltTrack.obj BlockAssy2PUV.obj BlockAssy3PUV.obj BrookeGun3UVP.obj NewCasement1UVP.obj NewCasement2UVaP.obj RopeUV.obj :Runtime:libraries:Character:Michael_C:BrookeGun Brooke Gun.cr2 Brooke Gun.png :Runtime:libraries:Character:Michael_C:BrookeGun:Extras Block & Tackle.cr2 Block & Tackle.png CCW Block Set.cr2 CCW Block Set.png CW Block Set.cr2 CW Block Set.png :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:BrookeGun:Gun Crew:Roll Out M4 Pull Left.png M4 Pull Left.pz2 M4 Pull Right.png M4 Pull Right.pz2 V4 Pull Left.png V4 Pull Left.pz2 V4 Pull Right.png V4 Pull Right.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:BrookeGun:Gun Crew:Rotate M4 CCW Pull 1.png M4 CCW Pull 1.pz2 M4 CCW Pull 2.png M4 CCW Pull 2.pz2 M4 CW Pull 1.png M4 CW Pull 1.pz2 M4 CW Pull 2.png M4 CW Pull 2.pz2 V4 CCW Pull 1.png V4 CCW Pull 1.pz2 V4 CCW Pull 2.png V4 CCW Pull 2.pz2 V4 CW Pull 1.png V4 CW Pull 1.pz2 V4 CW Pull 2.png V4 CW Pull 2.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:BrookeGun:Hide-Show Deck-Subcarriage Hide.png Deck-Subcarriage Hide.pz2 Deck-Subcarriage Show.png Deck-Subcarriage Show.pz2 Hide Wood Deck MAT.png Hide Wood Deck MAT.pz2 Show Wood Deck MAT.png Show Wood Deck MAT.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:BrookeGun:MAT Brooke Gun MAT.png Brooke Gun MAT.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Props:Michael_C:BrookeGun Alternate Gun Mount.png Alternate Gun Mount.pp2 Blank Casement.png Blank Casement.pp2 Blank Deck.png Blank Deck.pp2 Casement Segment.png Casement Segment.pp2 :Runtime:libraries:Props:Michael_C:BrookeGun:Gun Crew Props M4 Rope Left.png M4 Rope Left.pp2 M4 Rope Right.png M4 Rope Right.pp2 M4 Rope Rotate.png M4 Rope Rotate.pp2 V4 Rope Left.png V4 Rope Left.pp2 V4 Rope Right.png V4 Rope Right.pp2 V4 Rope Rotate.png V4 Rope Rotate.pp2 :Runtime:textures:MCC:Brooke ALB-Rope.jpg ALB-RopeBMP.jpg BG-AltGundeck.jpg BG-Casement.jpg BG-CasementBMP.jpg BG-Gun.jpg BG-GunBMP.jpg BG-Gundeck.jpg BG-Gundeck1.jpg BG-GundeckBMP.jpg BlockAssy2.jpg BlockAssy2BUM.jpg :Templates:Michael_C:BrookeGun Gun.bmp GunDeck.bmp GunDeck1.bmp NewCasement2UVaP.bmp NewCasementUV.bmp AltCarriage.bmp
