mcjTallPillowBlock - morphing prop - various mechanical

mCasual

i have a hard time finding the proper name for this
it's not really something sold off the shelf

so it's a bracket or a pillar or a pedestal or a pillow block or a mount

Incidentally

did you know, that if you use image-based reflections

And

in Daz Studio >4.5's Edit / Preferences / Interface

you turn on the "Per Pixel Shader" option

you get REAL TIME chrome effects !

metal shaders by Georgehaze » right there ------------> http://www.sharecg.com/v/27568/Material-and-Shader/Ultimate-Shader-Pack-for-DAZ-Studio

note that if the the image maps used as fake reflection is "Equirectangular" or "Spherical" you get perfect mirror effects

one source of equirectangular images is http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html

make the mcjCastle doors animatable

then the bullet physics engine

then uhh the cage-deformer

You always could have called it mcjTallTuit for all those people who never get a round tuit

the 'it' tend to multiply and run around so it takes time to herd them back

Thanks for all the work they are great. Looks like you have found a cure for insomnia.

thank you for this. I don't know that it will be useful to me, but you come up with the most amazing and unique props. I'm sure it'll come handy one day.

Actually, units like these are sold off the shelf. They're called shaft supports. I've bought a few.

i also saw the pedestal pillow blocks but they only go to, say 4 inches

the closest i saw was "line shaft" supports which were part of toy steam engines

all the pieces i posted will make a stirling machine, which will be the test case for a mechanism animattion script for daz studio
