Updated - mcjPlateOneHole - versatile morphing DS/Poser mechanical prop

mCasual · November 2014

the mcjPlateOneHole

right there -----> https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts4/mcjplateonehole

round, or square, or oval plate with a round or square or oval hole

Note that once the prop was morphed to satisfaction,

i did use mcjBoxUV http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/36930/

to re-lay the UV map and obtain such an un-stretched result

i applied the free bump map .... mcjNeoprene1k http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/46444/

and tiled it 40x20

( actually i had to use bizarre bump map values to invert the bumps : min=0.02 max=0 )

fig 3 is the (DS3 ) subD

Fig 1 - the 4 main Corners / AwayX and Corners/AwayZ morph-groups

Fig 2 - adding the Corners, Radius morph-groups

Fig 3 - adding the Corners / Sharp morph-groups

Fig 4 oops actually there were 5 slider-tweak if you add the PipeSharp and PlateSharp morph-groupings

Fig 5 The "Levels" morph groupings, only 2 levels so ...

And finally the "Sides" morph-groupings

4 sides : left, back, right, front

2 morphs : AwayX, AwayZ

Top and Bot

Plate and Pipe(Hole)

so, 32 channels

===========

still have to do:

- reassign a materials a tad better
- re-UV?
- rename materials
- rename morphs that use "pipe" with "hole"
- create google site
- package
- publish

...under an hour left :)

------

Figure 2 ... yep it can also be a thick or thin, sharp or blunt-edged pipe !

Figure 3 ... and even a squary pipe with round or sharp corners

Figure 5 - the "Expanders" morph-groupings actually marshal up to 24 morphs at once
( 8 corners , the Radius, AwayX and AwayZ morphs )
the result is what you'd expect a "radius" morph to do

so that's the basic mcjPlaneOneHole

32 sides, 8-steps-edges give it a smooth appearance even when seen up close
1152 facets ( ( 4 x 8 + 4 ) x 32 )

since i use automated tools to build morphs and morph-groupings

i should be able to include a few other versions !

say

32x4, 32x2, 16x8, 16x4, 16x2,

so if your scene uses 100 mcjPlaneOnePipe as simple small washers
you'll be able to keep the polycount at 19200 instead of 115200
