In Seach of a Conveyor Belt

CybersoxCybersox Posts: 9,639

I've got a scene I'm working up that's set on a factory assembly line (think of the classic I LOVE LUCY "Chocolate Candy Manufacturing" episode) but I can seem to find a good pre-built conveyor belt.  The closest thing that I've been able to find is a luggage handling car from 2nd world on Rendo, and in a worst case scenario I could peice something together from primatives or convert a tank tread, but it seems weird that with all the steam-punk, sci-fi and real world sets out there that I can't find one with a prebuilt conveyor belt or moving walkway to use as a base. It doesn't even have to be animated...

Any suggestions?

    I know there is one, I have actually sort of made a roller variation of one in Carrara too in one of those moments I decided to do the equivelant of ripping my nails out and model my picking line at work. angry

    You will probably have better luck looking on sites that cater to the CAD/CAM community, since they often have a lot of industrial stuff. The bad news is, you will probably need to do some conversion in order to use the models in DAZ Studio. For example, I know that GrabCad has a whole whack of different conveyors for free of all types. You will also need an account there to download and a lot of them will need to be converted from Solidworks to Wavefront objects or similar.

    There is this free one but you will have to convert it to obj:  https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/industrial/machine/pvc-belt-conveyor-300x2000mm   Greentoken can convert the lxo or stl file to obj.

    Or this paid one includes an obj file: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/industrial/machine/conveyor-zipline-bsbac
