Description
This old Eagles tune sort of sets the stage for what to do when you don't even have enough money to take advantage of a $5 coupon. So I downloaded the three files in FreeStuff that had cannons. One was .max so I had no way to use it. One was by Assasin and looked excellent until I openned the .3ds in Poser 7 on VISTA Ultimate. Oops! another Humptey-Dumptey. The importer through no fault of assassin flipped the left side of the cannon carriage. Easy to fix anywhere but Poser. Then the textures looked good. Wouldn't I lose them going to Carrara to fix it? Pleasantly the answer was No to that and a quick reversal of fortunes on the left and I was back in Poser still in .3ds format. But the textures now were too light in color. That is fixable in Poser. A final about 1.5 degrees tip forward and the shadows attach to the wheels which are all four on the ground at once. I also had to move the one chain ring up on the left rear in Carrara before doing this, OK? Sometimes I talk too fast to keep my mental momentum and don't report right away what was an opportune save. The old style field gun with it's vase type gun and wide light trails got a sort of mixed French artillery and SPAD wheels texture. I resized the Navy 12 pounder to a 4.57 in bore which is a scale of 87% to it's import. Then I ran balls of correct size along the top to show it is under the 23-24 caliber limt but really needs to be more like 9 instead of 8.2 feet to be NAVY. This is a fort or garrison gun at this point. So 9 feet and under 24 caliber? "Take it easy don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy..." another Eagles tune being reprised right now. I had it on 8 track and listened on the highway to Miramar and "Top Gun". The brightly colored cannon is from sagersweb.com

Nice, very nice pic!
cool, next - please can we have the human cannonball and we will see if he can be fired into the air without damage from the gunpowder.
Thanks for have explained the process : D Result is pretty and compelling.
sometimes imports come at the cost of domestic production... a source of domestic tranquility... which is important to anyone who has a maid. fire away
your first image would be "Allison lower left hand corner" made in 2006 curious how it would be this time !
Eagles? wasn't it Fleetwood Mac? ....excellent image ~
Excellent modeling once again dale love the new man on the scene and the cannons:
I agree with timtripp :)))
I don't understand what timtrip and muchagoo are agreeing to. Do they have a secret cannon factory in Poser?
Nice work, grueling procedure. I hate Poser, which I think was made by people not smart enough to be fascists. And Vista. Rhymes with Sandanista. Nuff said.
wow you know so much stuff in 3d. wonderful deplay
Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés, wheels? OK. I think your shipboard carriage may be a might small. Perhaps the trunnion got moved? Your cannon is definitely the superior of the two. Poser is full of surprises....A cannon factory, Hmm.
a song by fleetwood mac, if they are pointing at me i'll go my own way. steve
'fraid so. As much as I have problems with that band...;) The military equivalent of angels dancing on the head of a pin...there's an idea for the next pic. Looks right fine to me, keep 'em coming...
no moss on these cannon balls, unless chia pet has it's way
Fantastic modeling and work.
Strictly quantitatively, the present US Secretary of the Treasury qualifies as one of the memorable thieves in known history. He is a graduate of Dartmouth where he played football. He then went on to a career in finance. He will be accorded the compliment of no Dostoyevski nor Mann, because: (1)he does not have the intelligence to know he is a thief; (2) he is so enormously incompetent, inelegant, and inefficient in his thievery even most honest thieves would blush to acknowledge him as one of their own, and (3)the theft, though one of the grandest known in amount, is a tiny, almost incidental, part of the whole business. Now, whether or not one agrees with all that, it takes working in the back office of a bank for a spell to see one of the prime roots of the lunacy, which no one to date has had the courage to name. It is actually too simple to be widely understood, to wit: thought and composition--in all affairs and toward all ends--in Power Point.
Wonderful modeling!!
Fantastic modelling and excellent realization Dale....!!!!!
Praise God and pass the ammunition!
Cool!
lol, I'd like to think the cannonballs would really stay all lined-up like that on top of the cannon. Cool scene. Cool cannons! The guy doesn't believe it either! q-: Very nice work! (:
While an interesting diversion, when you come down to it, most people who model in Poser are only doing so for an artistic purpose, and folks who model for accuracy and mechanical precision probably use another 3D modeling tool. As for 18th century cannons, (cue cheesy pirate voice) "those be more than good 'nuf for a pirate render, Aaarrr!"
