--------------------------------------------------- Product Name: Early Concept Aircraft Carrier Copyright 2022 Michael Crisafulli Contact Michael_C via Renderosity Site Mail -------------------------------------- Product Description Soon after the appearance of successful airplanes a French inventor described a ship with a flat deck that would serve as an ocean-going landing field for aircraft. Soon afterward ships were modified to experiment with this concept. Although several were outfitted to carry aircraft in WW I, it wasn't until the 1920s that full-length flat deck carriers appeared. This model explores the concept but doesn't represent any one historical carrier, while drawing on the features of many built up to and into WW II. The Carrier 3D model is a fully-rigged Poser figure, sized for Poser people. Although designed for Poser, it is compatible with DAZ Studio (see notes below). FIGURE Carrier – the base figure with a selection of props preloaded The fully rigged and poseable Carrier figure has ERC controls at the Body level that, among other things: o Operate the guns, move the controls on the bridge, turn the rudder and spin the propellers. PROPS Preloaded o Boats stowed on the hull below the flight deck o Boats on davits o Morphing flag Additional smart props o Billboard smoke o At-anchor chains o Stowed boat hoists Extras o Airship service tower (smart prop) o 8-meter launch o 11-meter boat POSES o M4 crew poses o Hide/Show poses - Hide anchors (for use with at-anchor chain props) - Hide aircraft arrestor cables - Hide radio masts - Hide nameplate - Hide boats on davits (for use with stowed hoist props) o MAT poses - Default MAT - Dazzle camouflage MAT - Various national and imaginary flag MATS o Extras Positioning poses for other (not included) products - Steam Sloop - Steampunk Airship CAMERAS o Full camera set positioned for easy viewing and rendering of the full Carrier figure. Includes main, auxiliary, left, right, top, bottom, front and back cameras o Dolly Camera settings for bridge interior and various close-up exterior views LIGHTS o Simple Day and Moonlight sets TEXTURES Image maps up to 4000x4000. All components are UV-mapped with texture templates included. GEOMETRY The figures and props use external geometry in the Poser geometries folder. -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 and above Compatible with DAZ Studio (see Compatibility notes below) -------------------------------------- Ownership Statement: All of the content in this package was created by Michael Crisafulli (Michael_C) and may include derivatives of the following vendor/merchant resources: One or more textures on this 3D model have been created with images from Textures.com. These images may not be redistributed by default. Please visit www.textures.com for more information. One or more textures use public domain resources from Wikimedia Commons. -------------------------------------- Notes on the Model The Carrier model hull and superstructure was modified from my Massena figure. The flight deck and other details are inspired by historical photos and drawings of various early aircraft carriers. -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Unzip files to your main Poser directory, being sure to check "Use Folder Names" and the files will unpack to their proper location. Refer to the file list below for file locations. Components are found in the "Michael_C/Carrier" folder within each of the Poser sub-libraries (Figure, Pose, etc.). Note that although most of the Poser files may be moved to other locations, the geometries and textures MUST be in the listed locations. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips: The Carrier figure uses ERC controls at the Body level. For easy access to the controls the figure's Body loads selected by default. PARAMETER DIALS - The parameter dial groups load collapsed for convenience. Open a group or subgroup to use its dials. Transform These standard dials control rotation and position of the Carrier aircraft figure. Resize - This dial changes the size of the entire figure. Yaw, Pitch and Roll – Nautical terms for rotation in Y, X, and Z axes. Control Helm-Rudder – The wheel hydraulic control turns in concert with the rudder. Telegraphs – Individual Send and Response controls for each of the three engine telegraphs. Propellers – Spin the three propellers. Guns Individual controls for each of the 4-inch, 3-pounder, and 1-pounder guns. - Train – point the gun left or right - Elevate – raise or lower the gun barrel Gangways Individual controls to lower each of the gangways. Miscel Lower Elevator - Lower the flight deck aircraft elevator Raise Arresting Cables - Raise/lower the flight deck arresting mechanism Lower Radio Mast - Lower the radio masts away from the flight deck Spin Anemometer - Spin the wind speed anemometer atop the radio mast Wind Direction – This control rotates the flag line about the flag pole, turns the wind vane, and turns the smoke planes. Adjust smoke – Adjust the billboard smoke for a better perspective. POSES Crew Various poses for M4. HIDE-SHOW Anchors – Hide when using the At-Anchor chain props. Bridge Side – Hide to better view the bridge interior Arrestor Cables Radio Masts Boats on Davits – Hide individually to use stowed hoist props (In DAZ Studio these props need to be individually selected to hide or show) Nameplate – It's easier to hide it than to change the name on the texture MATs Default MAT Dazzle Camouflage MAT Various flag MATs Extras Poses to position separate products with the Carrier figure - Steam Sloop (Cybertenko) – Replaces the 8-meter launch (hide this prop first) - SP Airship (Michael_C) – Positions the airship to match the Airship Service Tower PROPS Preloaded Boats mounted on the stern davits Boats stowed port and starboard under the flight deck overhang Morphing flag mounted on the stern flagpole (The 3 flag morphs are accessed by selecting the flag prop) Smart Props At-anchor chains (the corresponding anchor should be hidden via the pose listed above) Billboard smoke for each stack (For darker smoke load an additional copy and, using the local prop parameter, "Turn" it a degree or two) (The smoke color can be changed by selecting the Smoke diffuse color in the material room) Stowed boat hoists for use on stern davits with boats hidden Extras Airship Service Tower (smart prop) – For use with Steampunk Airship or other airship products. The Tower Pipe part of this compound prop can be raised or lowered for different airship elevations. 2 boats – Unparented versions of the preloaded boats CAMERAS Carrier Set - All the standard cameras are positioned to show the complete Carrier figure in its default loaded position. Note that adjustments may be necessary depending on your document window setup. Dolly CAMs Numerous Bridge interior and many exterior view Dolly cameras. LIGHTS Simple Daylight and Moonlight sets with included IBLs. ------------------------------ -- DAZ Studio Compatibility - Tested in DAZ Studio 4.15 to the extent that parameter controls work as intended and the figure renders satisfactorily. I've made no attempt to convert or optimize materials. The Carrier figure loads, operates, and renders in DAZ Studio. There are some incompatibilities as noted below. DAZ Studio uses different camera designations from Poser so the included camera presets don't all work. Those that work may require adjustment. In Poser the pose files automatically affect attached props. In DAZ Studio, individual props must be selected and the pose re-applied to make the changes to the props such as the flag. Props must be individually selected. --------------------------------------------------- List of files contained within this product's zip files. :Documentation:Michael_C Early_Concept_Aircraft_Carrier_ReadMe.txt Marketplace_Standard_License.txt :Runtime:Geometries:MCC:Carrier 8mBoatonDavitUVP.obj 8mBoatw-P.obj AS-TowerUV2-P.obj AS-TowerUpipe2-P.obj AS-TowerVhandle-P.obj AnchoredChainPRT-P.obj AnchoredChainSTB-P.obj BBSmokePlane.obj BigBoatUV3-P.obj BoatBlock4.obj CarrierUV1a-P.obj FlagBase2P.obj :Runtime:libraries:Camera:Michael_C:Carrier Carrier Set.cm2 Carrier Set.png :Runtime:libraries:Camera:Michael_C:Carrier:Dolly CAMs Bow View.cm2 Bow View.png Bridge 1.cm2 Bridge 1.png Bridge 2.cm2 Bridge 2.png Bridge 3.cm2 Bridge 3.png Bridge 4.cm2 Bridge 4.png Flight Deck 1.cm2 Flight Deck 1.png Flight Deck 2.cm2 Flight Deck 2.png Flight Deck 3.cm2 Flight Deck 3.png Guns PRT Side.cm2 Guns PRT Side.png Guns STB Side.cm2 Guns STB Side.png Launch Location.cm2 Launch Location.png PRT Gallery.cm2 PRT Gallery.png PRT Gangway.cm2 PRT Gangway.png Port Side View.cm2 Port Side View.png STB Gallery End.cm2 STB Gallery End.png STB Gallery.cm2 STB Gallery.png STB Gangway 1.cm2 STB Gangway 1.png STB Gangway 2.cm2 STB Gangway 2.png Stern Deck 1.cm2 Stern Deck 1.png Stern Deck 2.cm2 Stern Deck 2.png Stern View.cm2 Stern View.png :Runtime:libraries:Character:Michael_C:Carrier Carrier.cr2 Carrier.png :Runtime:libraries:Light:Michael_C:Carrier Daylight.lt2 Daylight.png Moonlight.lt2 Moonlight.png :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Carrier:Crew M4 Bridge Deck.png M4 Bridge Deck.pz2 M4 Helmsman.png M4 Helmsman.pz2 M4 STB Gallery 1.png M4 STB Gallery 1.pz2 M4 STB Gallery 2.png M4 STB Gallery 2.pz2 M4 STB Gallery 3.png M4 STB Gallery 3.pz2 M4 STB Gangway.png M4 STB Gangway.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Carrier:Extras Position SP Airship.png Position SP Airship.pz2 Position Steam Sloop.png Position Steam Sloop.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Carrier:HIDE-SHOW Anchor PRT HIDE.png Anchor PRT HIDE.pz2 Anchor STB HIDE.png Anchor STB HIDE.pz2 Anchors SHOW.png Anchors SHOW.pz2 Arrestor Cables HIDE.png Arrestor Cables HIDE.pz2 Arrestor Cables SHOW.png Arrestor Cables SHOW.pz2 Boat on Davit PRT HIDE.png Boat on Davit PRT HIDE.pz2 Boat on Davit STB HIDE.png Boat on Davit STB HIDE.pz2 Boats on Davit SHOW.png Boats on Davit SHOW.pz2 Bridge Side HIDE.png Bridge Side HIDE.pz2 Bridge Side SHOW.png Bridge Side SHOW.pz2 Nameplate HIDE.png Nameplate HIDE.pz2 Nameplate SHOW.png Nameplate SHOW.pz2 Radio Masts HIDE.png Radio Masts HIDE.pz2 Radio Masts SHOW.png Radio Masts SHOW.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Carrier:MATs !Default MAT.png !Default MAT.pz2 Dazzle MAT.png Dazzle MAT.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Pose:Michael_C:Carrier:MATs:Flags French Maritime MAT.png French Maritime MAT.pz2 Red Eagle MAT.png Red Eagle MAT.pz2 Rising Sun MAT.png Rising Sun MAT.pz2 US 1908-12 MAT.png US 1908-12 MAT.pz2 US 1912-59 MAT.png US 1912-59 MAT.pz2 White Eagle MAT.png White Eagle MAT.pz2 :Runtime:libraries:Props:Michael_C:Carrier Anchored Chain PRT.png Anchored Chain PRT.pp2 Anchored Chain STB.png Anchored Chain STB.pp2 Smoke 1.png Smoke 1.pp2 Smoke 2.png Smoke 2.pp2 Stowed Hoists PRT.png Stowed Hoists PRT.pp2 Stowed Hoists STB.png Stowed Hoists STB.pp2 :Runtime:libraries:Props:Michael_C:Carrier:Extras 11m Boat.png 11m Boat.pp2 8m Launch.png 8m Launch.pp2 Airship Service Tower.png Airship Service Tower.pp2 :Runtime:textures:MCC:Carrier MC-CV-8mBoat.jpg MC-CV-AS-Tower.jpg MC-CV-Anchor.jpg MC-CV-BigBoat.jpg MC-CV-Bridge.jpg MC-CV-BridgeDZL.jpg MC-CV-BridgeInst.jpg MC-CV-DavitBoat.jpg MC-CV-Davits.jpg MC-CV-DeckFeatures.jpg MC-CV-DeckFeaturesBMP.jpg MC-CV-Decks.jpg MC-CV-DecksBMP.jpg MC-CV-FlagRedEagle.jpg MC-CV-FlagWhiteEagle.jpg MC-CV-Flightdeck.jpg MC-CV-FlightdeckBMP.jpg MC-CV-FlightdeckDZL.jpg MC-CV-Gangways.jpg MC-CV-GangwaysBMP.jpg MC-CV-Guns.jpg MC-CV-Hull.jpg MC-CV-HullDZL.jpg MC-CV-MastsCables.jpg MC-CV-MeshXPAR.jpg MC-CV-Nameplate.jpg MC-CV-NameplateDZL.jpg MC-CV-Propeller.jpg MC-CV-Rails.jpg MC-CV-RisingSunFlag.jpg MC-CV-Stacks.jpg MC-CV-StacksDZL.jpg MC-CV-TelegraphFace.jpg MC-CV-US1908-12Flag.jpg MC-CV-US1912-59Flag.jpg MC-CV-Walkway.jpg MC-CV-WalkwayBMP.jpg MC-MS-AnchorChain.jpg MC-MS-BlanksBump.jpg MC-MS-FrenchEnsign.jpg NO-SmokeCombi2.jpg WB-SmokeMask.jpg :Runtime:textures:MCC:IBL 20070812_1492.JPG 20070812_1492N.JPG Templates\Michael_C\Carrier 8mBoatonDavitUVP.bmp 8mBoatw.bmp Anchor.bmp AS-MaintTower.bmp BigBoat.bmp Blanks.bmp BridgeInstruments.bmp BridgeUV.bmp Davits.bmp DeckFeatures.bmp Decks.bmp Flightdeck.bmp Gangways.bmp Glasses.bmp Guns.bmp hull.bmp MastsCables.bmp Nameplate.bmp Propeller.bmp Rails.bmp Stacks.bmp TelegraphFace.bmp Walkway-Mesh.bmp
