Has anyone seen or know if anybody has done a airport style metal detector (both the kind you walk though or the thing that you put your bags through??) free or pay(within reason)

If you are any good at texturing and can provide me a photo of what you are looking for, I can build you something in Lightwave.

Cool I can texture fine. Let me find some good pics and I get them to you by monday if that is ok, I have a project due this weekend. IM me an email addy to send them to. And thanks a lot, tony

actuall I found a few pics much easier that I thought, so just drop me addy when you can.

heres one

another

yeah that looks really eazy.... If I had to guess, you might be attempting a matrix scene.... Would you like a red and green pass/fail lights on top?

Yes the light would be perfect!! I really thank you for your time and skill. I really got to get this modeling thing started ;) It is wierd I can plan it out in my head but when I sit down with the software it just explodes!

First, don't let the X1 user id throw you.... this is TalleyJC ...I'm using my girlfriends pc and I didn't realize she logged on last......Ok here's the plan....... I'll create each piece as a separate .obj that you can then import. I don't know how to get Lightwave to export UV's but I will create many surfaces so you can use those to texture in posers material settings. I'll add a little more detail to the scanner, like scanning grids along the interior and maybe something like a control panel to the top. I'll also try to create two morphs for the curtains on the luggage scanner that bends one in and one out so you can animate something passing through

Very very cool! I have uv mapper pro so mapping won't be a proble :) the P5 materials sound like a good way to go too. tony

Do you have an object that you are going to run through the scanner? If I know the size and shape I might be able to create better morphs

Anything about the size of a standard suitcase or back pack and I don't mind resising things to make them fit the morph. It sounds like you are really going to town on this. can't wait to see it. tony

Here is what I have so far... I though I'd better start showing you something before I get overly detailed.... For all I know you may not need too much.... Here is the base luggage scanner based on the photo (Curtains are still being worked on) ... These are all lightwave textures (procedural), which you'll need to rework in poser.

Ok So far?

Very very nice Very OK!

Monitors,Keyboards, and a basic table.... I changed the table design to a standard table. I thought you'd probably get more use out of it than the little computer cart in the pic. Going on to Body scanner next... then the Luggage scanner curtains

You are amazing. It looks great!!!

Are you using P4 or P5? I was thinking that I could probably import and tweak these to put some basic poser textures on them. I have both P4 and P5. If you have p5 I could probably duplicate the lightwave procedurals.

I have both but use P5.

People Scanner is done.... I change it to be round and a bit more modern... Once again I thought you'd get more use from it... like a transporter or a medical scanner... I can make the plane ikea-box looking one if you'd prefer.

Next....:Back to the curtains

How's this?

If ok I'll start trying to drag it into P5....

Do you have an object you are ready to use as a suitcase?
I'd like to use it to try for morphs, unless you want to do it with magnets in p5.

sorry I was out of town. it looks perfect I can handle the curtins with magnets no proble drag a way by all means. it really looks perfect. you are a marvel tony
