Note: If I revise this model and re-issue it, I will increment all instances of the “V3” to “V4” and so on.

BACKGROUND

This rover is designed by Vajrablue.

The original mesh by Vajrablue is available on Blendswap.com

Vajrablue gave me permission to offer my Daz Studio adaptation for free.

Moving parts:

* Doors open.
* Door-mounted ladders move down/up.
* Airlock control levers move down/up.
* Wheels roll.
* Wheels can move a little bit up and down to simulate suspension.
* Wheels can steer.
  (The steering approximates Lankensperger / Ackermann steering angle relations of real cars.)
* Seats slide, swivel and tilt.
* Consoles tilt up and down.
* Joysticks wiggle.
* Directional antenna spins.

Many of these moving parts are best actuated using the control properties I made for them in the
"Parameters" tab of the rover as a whole.

They are:
Steer < Left / Right>
Hull < Lower / Higher >
Roll < Bckwd / Fwd >  -- could make animating it easier.
Door, Right < Close / Open >
Door, Left < Close / Open >
Door, Inner Cabin < Close / Open >

But the door ladders, seats, consoles, joysticks, airlock levers, and heights of the wheels
are best moved by the property controls of these individual parts.

Yr welcome. I hope it works well for you.

But note that I fixed a bad image map path problem with it today, updating it to V4. So you might want to download the new V4 update.

Yes, I messed up and released this with bad image map paths in my V3 release. And I have now fixed it (I hope) in my V4 update. So you might want to download the V4 update. It is at the same ShareCG link as the the V3 was.
