I said I was going to try this, but I didn't actually think I'd get it to work. My bicycle finished up very nicely, only a little on the big-file size. I made the forks turn (incluging flexing the brake cables, the wheels turn, the crank turns, the pedals turn with the crank, and if you conform Michael to the bike his feet go up and down pumping the pedals! He is maybe a little bow-legged here (I've been told I ride like that, too), I didn't play with anything at all, just straighted the feet (they go on slighty random), and turned the crank. Gee, sometimes life is sweet! Now to finish his outfit!

I don't believe a word of it; it's obviously all done with mirrors. ;-) Just incredible. I think this is the most amazing thing I've seen yet in Poser. Carry on like this and no-one will need to export to Max and Lightwave. Hurumph, I assume this thing has at least 26 racing gears... ;-)

Very cool. I had a Raleigh that looked similar to this, but it had toe stirups. Too bad we can't get something like the chain working in poser. -JH.

The chain's not working?!?! I take it all back. Hopeless. Go back and start again. ;-)

Hi Folks! It is absolutely wondrous, that such beauty is now available on a desktop computer. Did y'all notice the shadows? Isn't this a great time to be alive!!?? Peter (Dr Zik)

Is it also possible to do that with Zygote BMX.

Jim Burton posted Mon, 12 February 2001 at 8:18 PM

Thanks guys! Yeah, the truth is out, the chain doesn't go around! Here is another shot, this time Super-model Vickie riding no-hands. She had a heck of a time getting the cleats on those shoes.

Never was too keen on the implications of nude bicycling...
