I finally finished the Millennium Falcon for Poser. This version is from "The Empire Strikes Back" and was originally made by Andy Crook. It's available as a free download from ShareCG: Millennium Falcon for Poser.

I've actually had this model for a while, but I was waiting for the technology to catch up. :)

When I first worked on it back in 2010, Poser 6 gave me all kinds of errors about reducing the bucket size, etc, and it wouldn't render. Now I'm using 64bit Poser Pro 2012 and it renders without any problems at all.

Anyway, this model is a rigged Poser figure (as usual) and it's scaled to the size of the Poser people: about 34.74 meters/ 114 feet long.

Moving parts:

• Radar dish: up/ down and rotate
• Upper gun: up/ down and rotate
• Lower gun: up/ down and rotate
• Entry ramp: up/ down, with an ERC dial on the Body.
• Landing gear doors: open/ close, with an ERC dial on the Body.
• Landing gear: up/ down, with an ERC dial on the Body.

Notes:

This model is meant for exterior shots: there is no interior and a very basic cockpit.

This is a HUGE model, with over 528,544 polygons. We suggesting using a later version of Poser, such as Poser Pro 2010/ Poser 10 or above.

Textured with texture maps only: all of the surface detail is modelled and no Poser shaders are used on the model.

Texture maps range in size from 934x934 to 2000x2000, so you may need to adjust your render settings.

Mesh cleanup, including splitting multi-point polygons and removing double-sided polygons, and Poser rigging by: JHoagland.

Wonderful.  Thank you very much.

This is an excellent gift. Thanks so much.

There's even a rudimentary cockpit - James is going to cause some trouble.

thx fr great model!

What a piece of junk!

;-)

I mean, what a fantastically modelled and beautifully rigged piece of junk...

Thank you! :-)

Thank you to both Andy Crook and John Hoagland! :D

Thanks. I don't know what I'll use it for, but I had to download it.

very cool !! 

thanks!!

Cool, thanks! :)

here's one where droid (~6 ft.) hadda bend over ~1 ft. to get inside.

may incr. scale to 140% so ramp entry is ~7 ft. high. 

falcon is so large I dunno how BB got all of it in that plaza shot unless he scaled it down.  if I find out, will try exterior shot with hdr/atmo.

Sweet!!

The plaza in my render is the EnvSphere.

yes, but when I try it (harbor scene), scale of falcon is such that pavers (tiles) look way too big, whether cam is at 35 mm or 18 mm, 100% or 40% scale.

same problem with chiricahua plaza: stones/gravel look too large compared to falcon. 

Look at the ground in my picture - that's not the plaza ground - I added one to cover up the EnvSphere ground. (procedural, by the way)

o.k., got it! thx fr info.  now falcon should fit in these scenes.

Wow, Just WoW.... THANKS FOR THIS.

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for this!
