I was going to make Dawn a handbag...

[eclark1894]

Don't go crazy Earl. We'll wait patiently.

I have to work overnight, so I'll be up anyway.

 

[Miss B]

Ahhhhhh, that's right, you work nights. OK, but still, we'll wait if necessary.

 

[eclark1894]

I doubt Hivewire would be interested in this one. Probably going to sell it at CP. Anyway, back to the purse, then the teaset and finally finishing off the house.

 

[Miss B]

I think you're right Earl. Although it looks like a nice rifle/shotgun, HW already has their own in the store.

I'm not clear WHY you doubt HW would be interested, but I can tell you that it would have to do with the quality of the product, n0t the fact that we might have another similar product in the store made by HW or another CA.

So I say, if you finish it and think it's a quality product, submit it!!!

 

[Rae134]

The gun already in the shop is a pump action shotgun, this is a leaver action. So like Alisa said, if its a quality item they should take it

 

[Miss B]

AHA, that's what I get for not checking into the details between the 2 guns.

So Earl, is this going to be developed further for HW????? Curious minds want to know.

 

[Alisa]

Just to make it clear, it wouldn't matter if it was the same type of gun. Again, it's a matter of quality of the specific product

 

[phdubrov]

And this can be turned/morphed in a wide historic variety (hunter, military).

 

[Miss B]

Ohhhh, now there's an idea.

 

[eclark1894]

Well, technically, it's already a historic rifle. It's a Winchester 1894 lever action repeating rifle. "The gun that won the West". Right now, it's just a static prop. I actually doubt whether or no I'll be including morphs or anything, which was more of why I didn't think Hivewire would be interested.

Although, I was thinking about adding a rifle scabbard for the HW horse. Except, I don't own the horse or the saddle.

 

[phdubrov]

The gun that won the West

Not 1873? (All lever-action Winchesters was almost identical on a first glance IIRC colors/length aside, that's why I talked about morphing.)

 

[Rae134]

haha when you said morphing I thought you meant the leaver opening and closing

 

[eclark1894]

Actually, Rae, I was considering that, as well as the trigger moving back and forth, but with the problems I'm having with the handbag, I'd rather just leave it alone.

 

[Miss B]

Understandable. Unless someone wanted to use it in an animation where the movements of the leaver, and pulling of the trigger, would actually be seen, it's really not necessary.

Actually, if I can't get that morph to work right, people might be getting two versions of that HW purse, one open and one closed.

 

[Miss B]

Ohhhhh, make it work Earl!

 

[eclark1894]

Gun's pretty much finished now. I made the trigger, gun cock, sight and hammer on the gun workable. Unfortunately, the textures for the gun are all procedural for Poser. Plus, I haven't checked to see if the movable parts are still moveable in DS yet.

 

[Miss B]

Looks nice Earl.

 

[eclark1894]

And I think I've run into my first problem with DS.
Well, okay, not my first, but with the gun and models that open, close, rotate, etc. As far as I can tell, DS will recognise that the parts are all parented to the main rifle body. However, DS doesn't seem to recognize the origin axis that they rotate on. That could be a proble witth the house and appliances too.
