Vanishing Point (www.vanishingpoint.biz) and Gunpoint (www.gunpoint-3d.com) are proud to announce that from Tuesday 1 March 2005, Vanishing Point has acquired the rights to all the Poser and Vue versions of the Gunpoint catalogue.

Vanishing Point will be releasing the entire catalogue as available on Gunpoint, but as a bonus to Poser users, for almost every commercial product released there will be a free item released as well. Some parts of the free item will require the original model, such as free alternate textures, but other parts will be stand alone and could be used on other models.

On Tuesday Vanishing Point will be releasing the first three models (and three free add-on packs), and one of these will be a free Poser version of the JagdPanther tank destroyer. And as a further bonus for Poser users, this is the first tank that features fully animatable tank tracks. This tank uses some parts of the system developed by VK (http://www.atlantis23.com/erc_download.html) and some parts altered and modified by Helgard. The tank tracks are controlled by three dials, one turning both forward and backward, and one for each track individually. These three dials then also control all twenty wheels, making it an animators dream. All tanks and tracked vehicles released by Vanishing Point will feature this.

I will leave the discussions of the marketplace items for the launch day and the appropriate forums. Poser users are invited by Gunpoint to have a look at their site, and Vanishing Point will be having polls and votes where the users will decide which models they would like next. So to start the ball rolling, go to the Vanishing Point Forum and place your vote for the next freebie:

Further press releases will follow about the other site we are currently negotiating with, as well as the new modellers that will be joining Vanishing Point.
