A "Princess Phone." Got a picture the wife is working on and she needs a princess phone with a long receiver cord. And it's got to be free. Any suggestions?

Not sure what a princess phone is, but SAMS3D has an oldfashioned phone. Perhaps you can use that?

A princess phone is also called a "slimline" phone." Gotta be the princess because it's being used by a teen princess..another one of those wonderful pix the wife does based around our daughters and the attitude that goes with the teen years. Thanks!

Have you by any chance got a picture? if so I may be able to make it for you.. unless you find one ofcourse :o)

Hi there. I just whipped this up in 3dsmax. It's not a dead-on likeness but will it suffice?

Wow Nukem you beat me to it :) In any case it looks better than my attempts! Stunning likeness if you ask me :)

Thanks for the compliments, ernyoka! :)

The model still needs some more details, some tweaking, some texturing and of course there's the conversion to Poser...

I haven't made a whole lot of Poser characters or posable props. The handset cord might give me some trouble when I try to Poser-ize it. Not exactly sure how to approach it, especially if I want to take into account morphs/scaling to stretch out the cord...

Can you give me some more details on how the phone is going to be used in the image?

nukem

Okay, I just tweaked the shape of the phone a bit...

Gonna start work on the handset cord now...

Another progress image... Almost there... Just need to do detail tweaking, texture it, add 'button depression' morph targets, make the cord posable and stretchable... Okay, perhaps not quite 'almost' there. :-P

Keep an eye out in the Free Stuff and I'll post a Poser forum announcement too...

Looks absolutely AWESOME! :o) I love the cord!

It's not an oversight. The truth of the matter is that I'm not a particularly skilled modeller. Getting an exact likeness of an object is a little beyond me right now as my knowledge of the various 3d modelling construction methods is currently a little limited. I think if I had more NURBS experience, I probably could nail it.

I thought that maybe the person requesting the file would be satisfied with a freebie that was a reasonably close facsimile.

I've tweaked the handset again based on your observations. The shape still isn't dead-on. I think I'd have to start the whole thing from scratch to really get it, but I think the tweak still resulted in an improvement over the last version. I think I could be tinkering with this thing for weeks. :)

nukem

I have to say it again: I't an amazing job you've made so far!

I don't think you need to tinker anymore...I think it looks perfect now...that last tweak was dead on! Gosh, I think you've done an outstanding job!!

Thanks! :) It think it looks more like a proper handset now. Okay, now for the hard part... Getting everything to work in Poser! nukem
