Description
I once went to St. Louis to MACAIR and visited their simulation facilities. I saw a five degree of freedom flight simulator where the seat and displays were mounted on a long arm and could rotate about the arm axis a full 360 or many turns. It was humming and whooshing with hydraulic power and moving hunting something. The guide explained it was being "man rated" because the motions it was capable of could be lethal to anyone in the cab. It was like testing curare as a cure. I bring all my models I build in Carrara over to Poser and test them, not just scale them and pose them to act as props. I can examine human factors related features like reach and stretch. There is no formal report after. The viewers comment on what they think are unappreciated sensitivities. This model is the first I have brought over in subassemblies. I am building up the texture for the model slowly to avoid the big long list that stopped work on the previous one. Carrara itself will not properly select a texture for an object when the list gets too long. Here I have two bikes in the image. She really is thinking longingly of an American chopper while she examines her British crosser as a more suitable desert bike. Does anyone have experience with 20 inch front wheels with narrow knobbies in a sand wash blast? Are the valves really big enough (in the narrow bore) to compete with big bore two strokes when the little single is stretched this far by stroking? I tried three bikes yesterday in the render but that was over my 1.85Gb render limit. In Poser 3 even one bike in .obj form was too much not to mention how bad the chrome looked without raytracing with Firefly. I am still looking for that world beater "seamless texture" that would start my Renderosity store.

Excellent modellling and work....!!!!
There are times when one wonders what do I say (leave as a comment). Seems to me that the copy & past types ie; Excellent model etc., must be a bore to the recipient. So what do I say.I don't know. "Well done" hell that's a bore too ! Happy New Year. Dale.
I echo coolcatcom - well done!
only 1 degree away from full freedom..;) Such is life, although I've circumnavigated St. Maartin on a moped, the dizzying heights of true moto-cross elude me. She does have 'M appeal' (the source of the Avenger's name..no lie..;) great work, keep it up.
She's all reved up and ready for some stroking!!!! EXCELLENT work!
your prowess in modeling is well known and this stands the test
Awesome work!!
Happy New Year!
Some cool machinery you've made here, for some reason Norton springs to mind! Nice work!!
this is cool work. biker girl rides free as a bird
Dear Dale, Bringing stuff into Poser as subassmeblies will probably save a lot of grief. I tend to do that a lot on the ods and ends I model. Once I've got them in Poser I can export them out together and then re-import them to turn them into one "object" or to one body part!!! Your bike and gal both are really loking good!!!! Love ya!!!
