I need to find this guy rigged for Poser for a little animation project I'm doing with my son. Can anyone recommend where I might find him for download?

There are various 3d formats available at theforce.net 3d scifi site. Unfortunately dunno about poser versions as someone would have had to contact the original modeler, poser-fyed the model and gotten permission to redistribute. you could try importing the model from force.net and poser it yourself.

Yeah. I knew about that one. I suck big time at poserizing. wish I had one of those fancy animation programs all thes things seem to made for.

I have lightwave and checked out the model, it's not rigged meaning that you cannot pose it. Least the one I checked wasn't. exporting and importing to poser you'd still need to setup the bones n setup. you could try the setup room wizard in poser 5 if you have that see what it does to the model. sometimes on simple models it does a decent job and little clean up. My experiences are that it goes wacky and I have to try and do it myself manually and I give up. anyway ya do it not a simple thing.

Ya setup room is the chink in my Poser Armor. I've never got any results from it that I was happy with.

Possible solution. "Chop up" the droid into individual body parts with an external modeler, the Poser group tool/spawn prop, or the export-import check-boxes, then load a simple poser biped like the stick figure or LoRezGuy and replace all the body parts with via the "replace body part with prop" option. Should work well enough for a mech figure. ... just my 2 cents worth - hope it helps...

check with the authors at The Force.net..they're very good at what they do, but somewhat fierce in defending their work. I'm sure that if they realize the appeal of a poseable character, you could work something out..;)

If thats the Fabio model, I'll ask him for you... I think that he won't mind and maybe could host the file if he's willing to have it posered (not promising, but I work with him on the 3DGladiators)

That would be awesome Khai. Thanks for the effort. Regards, Brent

I was actually about to ask for this one myself, anyone try to tackle this project?

I'm organizing a project to bones a Shrieker that Jorg Weber was kind enough to model for a tremors fan film I want to put together. I was really hoping someone had already bones this. I notice a similar model was used to create an Alam DV plugin wioth what looks like this model.
