Here's a quick promo picture of my other products at SGS (seekergamingsystems). The backpack construction set is a modular set of props for creating your own custum back packs. The textures match the new Bodywear and Helmet pack as well as my original armor shard textures at daz. The LCV1 and SFCS Equipment standard textures pack are material pose files and textures for my products at daz and match the new GVCS Ground Vehicle Construction set and FVCS Flight Vehicle Construction Set at daz.

some older models at beyondbent.com are creepy

I feel your pain my friend, I cannot get bump mapping to work worth a crap with the p5 or p6 firefly engine. However, you can use the p4 render engine in either program and make sure the "ignore shader trees" option is checked, this will make the bumpmapping work, however, the p5 or p6 shader nodes for the other materials will not work. I do extensive bump mapping on my models, and I have to use p4 pro pack to get any good results. I wish that E-Frontiers would re-visit the bump mapping issues and fix them, and have a clean translation from p4 to p5 and p6. I've noticed that on some of my scenes, when I save a scene and come back into p5, the bump mapping will drop off of several off the elements in my scene. Very bad. I hope some people have some good answers. Davo

Honestly? It could use a crotchpiece ..... I'm sure he's wearing a nut cup under there :-)

Very nice! Less bulky, more believable, I love it

Hi all, Just saw this thread and thought I'd pop in and say hi and address a few comments to help out if I can. The SFCS Equipment pack was (as moonbiter pointed out) created to be used as seats and equipment consoles. With all the different construction sets I put out, it would be a long and tedious process to try and model consoles and seats for each one, the work would begin to become redundant. Just to let you all know, I have a texture expansion pack coming out for all SFCS Equipment that has the green, police, desert and urban camo and a new grey to better match the construction set interiors. I've also got an expansion pack for the LCV1 shuttle that has all the different exterior textures that are used on the construction sets. The different parts of the construction set can be scaled up and down in all directions, longer, wider, taller, etc to try and get a best fit. I do have another tread model that's being worked on for the G-Tank package I'm working on, attached is a wip image. It has a much larger tread and will be able to be used with all the other packages. I'm not sure if the daz readme is different than the one I supplied them, here is the original readme I gave them: snip snip... The GVCS figures library folder contains all the elements of the Core package. The GVCS ASSEM figures library folder contains all the pre-assembled modules. The purpose of this package being a "Construction Set" is to allow the user to assemble the included figures to create a custom vehicle. The user should have basic knowledge of parenting figures together and using the "memorize all" command under the edit menu to memorize the location of the figures after they have been parented together. A tip to help you design a vehicle is to first determine where the turning point or pivot point of your vehicle will be and to use the figure that is in that position as the main parent figure. I recommend the body part that serves as the axle between the front 2 tires. I would recommend that a crew cab and it's accessories be parented to that axle figure and then the aft portion of the vehicle parented to it as well. Remember to parent parts together in a manner in which will allow you to move certain parts and their child parts to move with them. Another tip is to use the "edit/memorize all" command 2 times in a row to be sure that a part is memorized in it's correct location before saving the figure back to the library. Be sure to use this command after each item is parented to another part. Use the "edit/restore all" command to periodically check if a body part reverts to it's original position, should this occure, move the part back and use the "memorize all" command again. Descriptions: Crew Cabs - There are 4 crew cabs with posable doors or canopies. In most cases, the front, rear, side, ceiling and floor walls can be turned off for good camera positioning. The shadow casting ability has been turned off on all elements of the cabs except the floor. This allows light to pass through the model so the interior can be seen when rendering. If you want shadow casting turned back on, double click on the body part and click the "cast shadows" button back on. Tires/Wheels - Parent these items to a fender figure to create desired effect. Fenders - Some of these fenders have posable parts to allow them to be lengthened. Check each one in poser to see it's capabilities. Some fender/tire assemblies are available in the GVCS ASSEM folder, this will help you save time in design. Body Types - These figures are the main bulk of your vehicle. Most of the Body Types have interiors with hatches and rims. The rims (surrounding the hatches) can be rotated to any angle. You can turn off the coverings/hatches/rims to convert your Body Type to an exteriorized body type. Use the figures property button to turn elements on and off. Miscellaneous Body Types - These are provided to give extra design ability, scale, rotate and use them at your discression. Flatbeds - These serve as a base for your cargo containers and to carry around cargo. Both of these figures have adjustable width and length features, explore these in poser. Cargo Containers - There is a long tractor trailor style cargo container, it has posable doors at one end and the floors can be moved back and forth to lengther or shorten the container. There are 2 other Cargo Containers with sliding doors, hatch doors and window shutters, these can serve as command centers or troop carriers. It is recommended to place the containers onto one of the flatbeds figures to pull them around. Barrels and Containers - These are for looks and to add interest to your scene. The gas can style has a posable lid and a spout that can come out. There is a tank lid figure that you can use as a gas or fuel cap, it has a movable lid. You can parent the tank lid to a barrel and have that serve as an exterior gas tank. Ladders - Use these for those hard to reach places. One style has posable treads that bend, another is a single tread that can be parented to a body type to give an extra "step up". The third ladder is a utility ladder with posable platform and wheels. Use this one to serve as a service ladder. Lamps/Lights - Use there where you want them, you can change the ambient colors in the material editor to give them different colors. Parent them to crew cabs or body types, where ever you feel it is needed. Connectors - These can be used as wheel bases or for any purpose you see fit, they add more design ability. Mufflers - Place and parent these where you want to. One of the large mufflers has adjustable height features. Rails - These serve as roll bars, grills/bumbers and safetly fencing. Most are posable, use them side by side to create long rows of safetly rail. Side Mirror - Parent this to a crew cab for rear view action. It is posable and adjustable. Ramp - This is to, well, you know, roll things up and down onto your rigs. Scale and rotate this as you need. GVCS ASSEMS: There are pre-assembled modules that help get you started in this folder: GVCS ASSEMS This is a good folder to save your creations back into, or you can create your own folder. When saving a figure, be sure to first check to see that all parts are memorized (see tips above), then click on the main figure that all other parts are parented to, the save that main figure to the library, be sure to make sure the "whole group" botton when saving, otherwise you will only get the main part saved to the library, not all the other parented parts. Thanks again for your purchase, please feel free to contact davorama at: snip snip..... I've noticed that daz has taken the liberty on some of my past products to "edit" the readme file to make it smaller. Last, but not least, I've uploaded some pre-assembled custom configs to a new page at www.beyondbent.com. This page has some free pre configurations made by various people who have bought the packages. There are some seating consoles made for the different crew cabs for both the GVCS and FVCS. Each download has a list of required products for use. (one of the links is bad and I can't fix it until I get there, so the GVCS crew cab setups are at: http://beyondbent.zftp.com/assems/gvcscab_equip.zip Hope this helps a bit, any questions and comments I'd be happy to address. Cheers, davo

Hi Guy!! Sorry bud, my attbi emails been defunct for a long time, the automatic forward that attbi used to provide is out of serverice now. My email is: beyondbent@comcast.net it's a sad history, first it was beyondbent@home.com, then beyondbent@attbi.com, now it's beyondbent@attbi.com. The cable internet provider has switched hands 3 times. A long while ago, Dark-toys.com went down one day early on in the month due to bandwidth limit being met. I never heard a word or peep from anybody and sales from that site weren't so great, so I just shut it down. Nobody ever emailed me about why, so I just save myself some money by not having the site anymore. Sales on dark-toys took a nose dive when I put all the products there on renderotica. Ultrascifihorror got it's plugged pulled by the hosting company after somebody decided to complain about some of the content on the site. With the current administrations push to clean up the internet by actually enforcing the laws it set in motion 10 years ago, web hosting companies are becoming more picky. Sooo... ultra is down for the time being until I get another site. The last 3 months have been very busy for me because of the huge amount of work the GVCS Ground Vehicle construction set as been. It's done, and it's now in Daz's hands. I'm putting a few new small packages together right now, including upgrading the LCV1 Cargo vessel with my standard texture scheme as well as upgrading the SFCS Equipment pack with the same texture schemes. I'm working on a back-pack construction set and a small secret project for daz. Busy busy busy. Cheers, Davo

JaneD, I had a look at the deciduous tree and think it looks great. I'd like to speak with you about a product package that I think you'd find interesting and I'm sure it could generate some good income for you. If you can email me at: beyondbent@comcast.net or david.sala@esmcivil.com I'd appreciate it. Cheers, davo
