Platinum Club Offer
November 23, 2005

Home | New Products | Gallery | Contest | Tutorials | Forum


It's a dangerous post-apocalyptic Steampunk world out there. Firing up his faithful Steamboat Machine, Michael goes on patrol wielding a suitably menacing rifle from his Flintlock Gun Pack.

Gliding along deserted canals, past derelict buildings and Sous Les Ponts, he keeps an eagle-eye open for rogue flying machines, craftily disguised with the I.F.D. Orion - Expansion Pack.

Look at what you get:

  • The Steamboat Machine by AS3Design is a steam-powered, paddle-wheel boat, with rotating paddles and rudder for your animated scenes. While many 3D vehicles are one-person affairs, this boat has a large platform to hold several passengers, or a fair amount of cargo. The boat is optimized it for usage in Poser 4, Poser ProPack, Poser 5 / 6 or DAZ|Studio.

  • The Flintlock Gun Pack by Torinouta features three weapons - a beautifully textured 19th century flintlock pistol, a flintlock rifle with bayonet, and a streamlined Steampunk-inspired flintlock pistol. Crossbelts, holsters, and a variety of positioning poses are included.

  • Sous Les Ponts by Moyra is a new set of textures for Stonemason's Under the Bridge, released last week. These textures are highly detailed, as you expect from Moyra, and include an old-style European bridge with cast iron touches, a modern-day decrepit bridge with peeling paint, and a classic Steampunk brick and cast iron bridge.

  • I.F.D. Orion - Expansion Pack by karanta is a set of textures to add some grunge to the I.F.D. Orion. They are high-resolution for up-close renders, and come in shades of coppery-rust and weathered verdigris. Textures can be applied easily via the included MAT poses.

Recycle and recreate!

Having trouble figuring out what to do with this month's render remix challenge? Forum member chickenlips (who made the image above) suggested that your throw all your runtime items in a hat, draw out three and then make an image with whatever you come up with. This may be a way to spark the imagination, and certainly a way to come up with some very surreal images!

Check out this month's great image, contributed by Alex of AS3Design, and get ready for next month - we've heard a rumor that Bryce Companion File contributor NorthernS is going to be our guest artist!

Post your Render Remixes in the Members Only forum.


    Woman with an attitude

    43 pages of women with attitudes - what a month it's been! Although Vickies with attitude are a 3D standard, the members of the Platinum Club forum have shown great originality this month. With the recent inclusion of the Girl in the Platinum Bonus Pack, and the great sale we had on Girl products, we've had several 'Girls with Attitude' too, like the above renders from woodbox1 and insaneteufel - a first-time poster.

    So, can we lure some of you other lurkers out of hiding? Come to the Members Only forum and let's see what you can do!

    Voting begins this week for next month's render challenge, so keep an eye on the forums.


    Ghost in the Machine

    If your transparent objects are rendering as visible "ghost" shapes, make sure your settings are adjusted as follows:

  • Transparency and Transparency Edge = 1
  • Transparency Falloff = 0
  • Ambient and Specular = 0, black

    Thanks to Crescent for this pearl.
