Attached Link: A larger render can be viewed here.
Greetings!!Thanks for the replies, I reckon I'll fiddle around with it as a figure. I'll probably go ahead and set the handle as a morph target, then rig the wheels to rotate and the lid to open/close, shouldn't be too difficult. Hopefully =P.
I actually based the model off a Coleman Xtreme 50-quart wheeled cooler. I measured most of the standard shapes and kind of winged the rest. =] The can holders are designed for a basic 12oz can, though I do plan to include can, beer bottle and soda bottle props with the cooler, just gotta be careful if you have a bottle in there. =P
Coleman also has a 75-quart cooler of the same product line that I'm sure I could easily make a morph for to adjust the size. I'm still learning my way around creation for Poser and not sure how I would tackle the textures for that, for I'm sure I'd run into stretching issues.
The current renders are quick shots out of Maya, so I haven't set it up in Poser yet. I do intend to make detailed textures for it as well tweak the shaders to give it a plastic apperance. I still have a little more modeling/mesh tweaking to accomplish then UVs.
I'm most certainly open to any suggestions or critiques anyone might have!! I was thinking of making it a part of a tail-gate pack so if anyone can thing of something that they think would go well with it please let me know. =]
Also here's some ortho renders to give a better sense of propotions.
