I'm NOT the maker of the model. I'm simply functioning as the connection to the community. The makers are a well established 3D model making company. They've just recently become "Poser Aware" (that's where I came in) They are well on the way to providing a whole library of Poser accessories, including planes, trains, automobiles, weapons, all sorts of miscellaneous props, and best of all...a line of human characters! What makes their Poser models different, besides the level of detail, is how flawlessly and effortlessly their morph dials work to move every part just the way it should go. For instance, If you open a door, the dial will only let you go as far as the door could open, and when you close it, the dial won't let you overshoot the mark. All the dials work that way. This ease of manipulation actually makes the cr2 far easier to handle than it would be if it were a 3DS file import. The maker is thinking about providing the interior and exterior of this model as separate models but in one package. This way the interior may be as little 30,000 polygons...less than a single Vickie! Of course, because you can hide all the parts that won't be seen, you can greatly reduce the size of the model for rendering and export. "...it's so big and so very specific that I'm honestly not sure how useful it would be..." Remember, this plane will also come in a standard airline package, with first class and economy. As such, it will be the only set of its type...anywhere! With the amount I fly every year, I can't think of a more generic setting than the inside of a 737! As for the price, well, I've tried my best to make it clear that ALL Poser users are 40 year old home-hobbyist and this is "mad money" not a professional tax write-off :) I think they will be in line with or close to what you see DAZ! -SMT
I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
