Is it just me or does the new Mountain Valley set look like it was lifted from the Hill Valley set from Back to the Future. The only thing it is missing is a Delorian racing down the street.

And a lighting storm.. Don't forget you need one of those.
And a hover board....if you're in the future.
I think that is about the only thing it is missing. Maybe someone will do an add on set with a night setting with a lightning storm.
I think I have seen a few free hoverboards out there on free sites but can't remember where right now.
...this might work

Yep that would certainly do it!
With the name, is there any doubt? MOUNTAIN/ HILL? And it's part of a Time Travel promotion?
As for hoverboards etc..

http://www.sharecg.com/v/42348/related/5/3D-Model/BTTF-Prototype-Flyer-for-Poser ; (This one is serioulsy broken for Daz if someone with Poser would like to fix it.... :) )
(I must say, I'm annoyed at all this time travel stuff while I can't finish my big time travel picture because of hard drive problem taking my computer to the shop :( But here's a test render from a few days ago to show I'm ahead of the fad!)
This might work - http://www.daz3d.com/mega-charger-for-gull-wing ??
The same (but slightly modified) set was used for Ghost Whisperer - just to indicate how flexible this set can be! Only thing stopping a purchase from me is that it looks to be iRay only and the animations I'm working on (and would use this for) I'm rendering in 3Delight :(
C'mon admit it, you came back from the future to post that ...
Actually that is an older set and I have it it was out LONG before iray it is certainly 3DL friendly.
Ah OK gotcha. Sorry about that
I got it when I was still using Poser and I haven't used it in Studio yet. I am at work right now and if you let me get back to my room, I will give it a try and let you know how it looks and works in 3DL.
That would be great, thank you :)
Okey Dokey,
Here is the gull wing imported into Studio straight from my Poser runtime. I didn't change anything on it so all so you could see it as it would load for you. Obviously there are a few issues as there seems to be quite a few spots in the mesh. It doesn't have these in Poser, so you might want to consider that before purchasing.
They look like the issues caused when the mesh has a quad with three vertices in a line - using the Triangulate command (Edit>Object>Geometry>Triangulate) should resolve that if so.
OK I will have to try that, still learning studio, Thanks.
How can you present a time travel sale without featuring a metropolitan police public call box?
Sincerely,
Bill
Very carefully! Plus there is a sonic screwdriver in the center console.
BTTF was the first thing to pop into my mind when I saw this set. And the Mega Charger/Gullwing products are perfect compliments - you can even make the flying delorean using them, although there's nothing connecting the wheels to the car.
I never thought of that! May have to give ti a try sometime. Thanks for the tip
I'm not saying this has any connection with my previous post at all.

Is a flying Delorean, and works, supposedly, in Poser....but needs some fixing and exporting for Daz...if someone want to fix it :)
Here's the one I use. I modified Boardman's mesh available at ShareCG, removing the polygon based letters in the main signs for a texture map.
If it looks a bit different from the various prop/set pieces in the show (both "classic" and the "revival"), that's because Boardman created a mesh based upon the proportions of a real Mark II Metropolitan Police Public Call Box. If one compares the elevation drawings of an authentic 1930s era Mark II box (it's gotta' be a Mark II as there were others designs that varied wildly in their designs), with the numerous set pices built from 1963 until the last few years, one would notice the proportions of the various elements varied more than one might have originally assumed. Google "TheMindRobber" (all one word) and you'll find a site that discusses the various props. The site's creator even displays a comparison chart of the the props with that of a real Mark II. It may amaze you how different they all are.
Sorry, this nerdy background stuff fascinates me.
Sincerely,
Bill
