    Okay, here's my gift to you all.

    Freebie vehicle Poses. Here's the first. I hope you like the name. wink  The Poses are set for Michael with Blue Michael being scaled to 100% while Red Michael remains 102%. This is because they are designed for Owen and Boyd who have a height difference. Sorry, you can adjust if you don't like it.

    As usual, free for commercial work. No attribution needed.

    Here we go, wanted to try the winter snow outfit. Definitely recommend it. Lots of options, and mat zones!

    Okay, here is my next pose. In the Car Crush... Series. I'll upload it later, I'm still testing it. Owen is fixing the car, while Boyd is offering helpful advice!

    I'm still trying to think what to do with the VW bug. I would've had them repairing it, but sadly no engine.

    You did remember VW Bugs have their engine in the trunk didn't you?

    Serene is using the just released Ladybird, which, unfortunately, doesn't have working boot or bonnet options (there is no engeine with this model).

    Of course! Boyd has a Master's degree in Robotics this makes him totally qualified to give Owen advice on how to repair this turn-of-the-century vintage truck. Fortunately, Owen likes listening to Boyd talk. Which is fortunate for him, since Boyd rarely shuts up. But Boyd is usually an informative chatterbox at least.

    Boyd could not resist. Afterall, Owen might fall into that giant hole the where the engine should be You can never be too careful. A brain must protect his operator from harm!

    Yeah, the ladybird is both truckless and hoodless. But its still an excellent model.

    Here's how this render turned out. Boyd is quite cheeky, but Owen is focused, on that empty place where the rest of the engine should be.

    There is actually a spartan engine inside the appropriately named Pick 'em up truck.. but I wouldn't want to stare at it too closely. The truck looks great with some iray shaders... And flattened and widened a bit.

    I still have my $6 off $18 coupon for May, I think I am going to get the

    https://www.daz3d.com/1961-am-roadster

    and $16 - $18 more PC+ autos. Never can have enough autos for interactive content especially generic common ones as cheap as those are.

    A roadster is a bit low though to crouch over. I hate working on cars myself as my hands don't like messing with trying to get bolts off without the giant set of real tools one needs which cost a lot of money. Plus you have to learn all the laws where to properly dispose of the waste.

    That vehicle does look nice. It has rudimentary engine as well. Bonus. Thanks for pointing it out.

    I do have that issue with Boyd bending over vehicles since he's gynormous. He probably likes small sport cars though... So I will have to make a pose for one.

    I've attached the updated Car Crush set. You now have 2 couples poses now.

    I also attached another image.... I didn't care for this one just because Owen's bent over position distorted his belt, and that clod at the HDRI  near the front tire looks funky on the ground.

    I often can't see HDRI's to gauge their realism before rendering. So I usually just hope for the best.

    I will make a render from the TV show Route 66 using your poses. It was your poses that gave me the ideal to get a car with an engine and that car happened to be used in that show. So thank to you are in order too!

    This is the Roadster and Pose 3 in the set. I admit, I love this car. So detailed. So amazing...

    I'm liking the car themes so I think I'll be sticking to it for a while. This one is thanks to Nonesuch00 who encouraged me to buy it.

    The Just Married prop is a simple flat plain with an image from the internet added to the surface and then d-forced down.

    I'm still working ont he details of the hands. There is an uncomfortable metal handle sticking out of the hood which they are sitting on, which I can't do anything about. I will do my best to hide it. I'll also put a driving pose in there- since this is a cute vehicle... and deserves tons of love.

    Cute, if you got Collective3D's new neighborhood or one of their older models it will look great. It's actually a Chevy Corvette. The Chevy Corvette museum is about 125 miles from me in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I used to fantasy as a toddler of owning a Corvette Stingray. My and my best friend would draw them endlessly. I think we got that from watching Speed Racer.

    interesting. I didn’t buy the urban neighborhood but I agree that would be adorable.

    I’m looking for a vehicle whose glass windows roll down if anyone sees one let me know. Yes I know I can make the glass disappear but I kind of want to be able to move it up and down

    That Dodge I mentioned has that option. Even the little, side windows roll down. Same vendor has a '67 Mustang where the windows roll down, too. However, the hood and trunk do not open. It has much fewer options compared to their '69 Charger.

    I’m really liking that car. I hope it goes on sale soon. I wish the bug had more options. The doors open and that’s about it. It makes posing kind of difficult.

  • Phoenix1966Phoenix1966 Posts: 1,700

    Where both of those models fall short is a lack of a true undercarriage (and the trunks not opening on both, the hood not opening on the Mustang). I don't think I've ever seen them on sale. I grabbed them when Rendo had one of their wishlist sales. i don't know when another is in the works, but I suspect there will be a few more before the year is out.

    The more I see other car models, the more I love that Charger for the windows moving, the seats being able to move forward and back, the engine, etc.

    Well fortunately I seem to have plenty of cars and other motorized vehicles to add to my pose set. Although now that I’m using them many don’t appear to have a lot of options.

    I did check turbosquid and there are a number of free engine objs for download. I honestly don’t know much about engines so I may have to try a few.
