I've just finished a Poser conversion of my Thunderbird 3 model, seen here in a Maxwell Render. Scenery and building not included.

It will work with Poser 4 and higher.

Two versions will be included in Posers' library. A plain Poser 4 version with just the colour maps applied and a version for Poser 5 onwards that inlcudes a bump map (for panel lines) and the Cinema baked Ambient Oclussion map for those wishing to refine my basic Poser materials.

This image is how it looks in Poser 5 (Poser Firefly render engine used).

A closer Poser 5 test render - nice sharp edges with disconnected polygons. The black(ish) fins where bevelled during the making of this in Cinema so even with disconnected edges there is some light being 'caught' at the edges. The bump map is set a low value in Poser.

The conversion to Poser is finished and is released for non-commercial use.

The Thunderbird3 model can be downloaded free from: http://www.sharecg.com/v/32263/Poser/Thunderbird-3

Nice work! Glad to see you're still making stuff, too - it's been a while.

rstar: Thank you.

EnglishBob: Thank you. I never stop making things! It's just that most are not for public release, either because their quality is not that good or for other reasons.

That's pretty nice. Any chance you'll be making Thunderbirds #4 or 5? :)

And in case anyone wants to complete their collection, we have Thunderbirds 1, 2, and 3 at Vanishing Point.

**JHoagland**: Thank you. Other Gerry Anderson themed nodels will follow.

First will be a Poser conversion of my recently finished UFO model from the UFO TV Series.

The UFO at an earlier stage of development.
