Hey, My new Poser animation project is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth (think more of a biblical apocalypse than nuclear warfare). So obviously this makes a high demand for destroyed real-world objects: vehicles, architecture, etc. Freebies are of course very nice, but we are looking for fairly high quality, so we expect to purchase these things. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I will be forever greatful :-) Thanks!

PS- BTW, much of the landscape will be created with Terragen if you're wondering how we're going to actually create the surface of a destroyed planet (see above pic for a rough concept render).

stonemason is your man. "Urban Ruin" or a host of otheres at his website...free. Some others at Daz and here for sale.

Andi3d has a nice looking rubble and debris set, as well as some urban ruins.

Where is his website please. Thanks.

Some props att http://www.baument.com/

Excellent, thanks guys. Still haven't found destroyed vehicles, but I suppose I could use morphs and textures on the vehicles I already got.

Momodot, Did you mean Stonemason's site? See URL.

To make destroyed vehicles, you select a body part, and set it to invisible, like I did with the wheel here. If some of the material zones are seperate, you can also make them invisible, like making all the windows on a vehicle totally transparent will make it look like the vehicles has no windows. You can also use some of the free shaders to make the texture look rusted.

EricJ, thank you for the link. Neat stuff.

And for buildings use the grouping tool to create new material zones that can be made invisible. So you can make your own ruins. Destruction of other items can be done by magnets, you have to change the fall off zone to get sharp breaks.
