Yay!! Starting this week Vanishing Point is proud to announce our new Freeklies. Every week we will be providing one free high quality Freekly stand alone item for download. We will try to make the Freeklies original items that have not been available before, so if you have any requests for sci-fi or real world items that won't take weeks of modelling and texturing, then shout, and we will see what we can do.

Membership not required.

PS The thumbnails for our Freeklies will be stickered with our highly original "Freekly sticker", lol, so that you can find them between the other freestuff.

This is my first ever still render, lol, so no laughing in the back there. The camouflage tent in the background will be next weeks Freekly. The helicopter is the BlackHawk by John, the motorbike is my WIP World War II BMW with sidecar, and the armoured car in the back is some low poly freebie. Rendered in Vue 5.

"G"...I am using MS Internet Explorer to get around on the Net. Downloading seems to be a big problem lately. Using SP2 (Installed), has this Pop-Up stopper. I dissable it, and I am still getting proplems accessing. I hear a beep and that is it. My cursor showing an X on a HardDrive Icon during the quick beep. I sure can use that for my Swat animation scene with the Littlebird.

That's odd. I haven't installed SP2 (I was clever) so I can't check to see what is causing it. I will contact John, it is his site, not mine, I just host my stuff there, and see if he can see what the problem is.

Thank you.

Robo2010, when you hear that beep, you get a white border on the upper edge with a HardDrive icon, right? What happens if you click on that border? I get a tiny popup menu with an option to download the file.....

Oh ok...kewl..took more notice. Thanks VH...:-)

Cool helipad. Now for the off-topic issue. :) The download page on Vanishing Point is trying to send you the zip file. However, Microsoft believes you shouldn't have it, so it's programmed IE to helpfully block the download. Suggestions: 1: Unles syou really need the features in SP2, restore back to SP1. 2: Dig around the IE security settings and find the controls that enable downloading of zip files. 3: Place Vanishing Point on your "trusted sites" list- this should tell IE not to block things. --John

Realized of the message after (Help from VH post). All this time having SP2 installed (about a Month now) I see it today. See pic, where I see message. I click on that message, and I get an option if I want to download it. I selected yes. I have helipad now, :-)

Through the help option in that menu you can find how to disable that function, if you want to. VH

Another happy customer. 277 downloads in 24 hours. I am getting better, lol. Next week the Freekly will have 6 textures as mat files, and can be a camo net or a plain military tent. Any requests for the next things?

A rocket launcher would be good, the one like the bazooka with the cone shaped (rocket?) at the end like you see in the news, the rocket could be made detachable so that it could be fired.

Swat Texture for the LittleBird, and Rope (Reppelling) :-)

The rocket launcher is called an RPG, or sometimes RPG7, a Russian made Rocket Propelled Grenade, and there should be one here in freestuff already. OK, I will speak to MrSparky about the Swat texture, and to John about the rappling rope. But what can I make? Trenches and sandbag walls? A military checkpoint, like they have on the roads in Iraq? Think of things that have never been done. The more original the idea, the more chance it will have.

The military checkpoint sounds good.
