I've been thinking lately (uh-oh), there are a lot of things that noone has built a model of. Things that I'm sure that someone would like to have. I keep forgetting that not everyone here is a modeler. I've been doing 3d modeling since the '91 (back in the days of 3D Studio 2.0 for DOS!) and if someone would like me to build somthing for them I can. (I need something to do...I'm bored.) I also just wanted to give something back to this community since I have gotten so much out of it. Thanks to everyone who has posted something in the free-stuff. I've downloaded 90% of what's there now and I appreciate everyone's hard work. So, I am opening the proverbial "Pandora's Box" here and asking: "What would you like to see someone model?" Kyrin.

You might think this rather pedestrian, but I'm needing the kind of quaint little cottages that Thomas Kinkaid paints. All the houses and buildings I've found on line are very modern or Frank Loyd Wright-ish. The other thing that I find missing is kid's clothing for Poser. -SMT

Okay, I have one or two as well. I've been looking for these for over a year. 1. a 1940's school bus, mid-size. I use to er ... live in one with my great-grandparents as they traveled around the country before I started school, I wanted to have it as a momento to add a personal touch to some of my pieces. 2. a 1952 Plymouth. What my great-grandfather drove after he sold the bus in 1960. Well, if anyone can either model this for the free-stuff or know where I can get this. I can barter for finished traditional artwork. I work in pen, pencil, prismacolor and other media. Portraits mostly. If this is too much to ask, I certainly understand. Peace Boni

Thanks for the ideas. By cottages do you mean little country houses? or more like the cottage from snow white? I'll see what I can do about the plymouth and the bus. I've never built a car or bus before. That might be a cool project... keep 'em coming!

Musical Instruments. Winds, Brasses, Strings, etc.

That '52 Plymouth sounds like a great idea. Any older cars, especially '50-'59! An old diner would be cool, too!

Well, I have two requests. If they're too hard I totally understand. 1) Lily's hairpiece from LEGEND when she's in the white dress 2) The Auryn from the NeverEnding Story

"Everett's Cottage" is really typical of the type I mean. http://www.piersidegallery.com/artists/kinkade/tk98-04.htm also: "Foxglove Cottage" http://www.piersidegallery.com/artists/kinkade/tk99-04.htm and "A Quiet Evening" http://www.piersidegallery.com/artists/kinkade/thomas.htm

I would be happy to see a 1972 Corvette Stingray Targa. Thats the last one with metall-bumpers on front. I personally own one since 10 years. But wasn't drive with it for the last 3 years, have to do some minor work on it. SHARKEY

Give me a huge highly detailed futuristic building of some kind, with helipad, groovy pointy bits, twin towers and joing walkways. Just the sort of place for an evil corporation to settle into...

How about: Notre Dame Cathedral (!) Parthenon Safari-type Land Rover Cutty Sark Thatch-roof on poles hut (no walls) Bulldozer Adams' Family House

Sporting environments - modern and antique stadiums, arenas, fields...

Um, songbirds with wings that pose separately from each other? Like larks and robins and wrens and I already have a sparrow I found on the 'net but the wings only pose together (sigh). And maybe a closed version of the peacock tail? Pretty please? Kate

How about some flowers that open and close? The cottages would be nice. Marge

I desperately seek interior or exterior pre-made scenes: rooms, streets, buildings, etc.

Poser-scale vehicles, ideally with morph-dials for doors, windows, hoods, etc... I'd love to get my hands on a 70's Trans-Am, among other things...

Blade, what sort of interior scenes do you need? I might be able to whip up a couple for you. Kate, the interior designer wannabe :)

I need a coffee can with the lid off, the 12.5 oz kind. Artists use them to soak thier brushes in turps and I am trying to build a virtual painter's studio. Also good would be a glass sheet with masking taped edges and dense with smears of paint, this is the palette me and my friends all use in oil painting. An electric hot plate with pot for making rabitskin glue and with a three inch house painter's brush for priming canvases. ->Artist canvases in differnt sizes with the stretcher bars visible at back. A simple glass tumbler full of water. A black 1940's Bakelite telephone. I'm getting carried away... sorry... thank you.

{I need a coffee can with the lid off, the 12.5 oz kind.

Charlie Brown, thanks. Yeah, maybe I should scan an actual pallet and map it to a "sheet of glass" and try bump maps for the paint blobs, bump maps have never been good to me but I'll try it. With cofee can I want those ridges they have around the middle and lips at the top and bottom... I tried joining multiple turuses that were fattened into open cylenders but it didn't look right, I should just try lathing it now that I just got the software. RayDream3D (thier new "consumer product") and 4DVision Sculpture (a NURBS app) just came in the mail but they are pretty overwhelming to me, so far all I've managed to do is lath some wine glasses. The 4DVision app has "ribbon" Nurbs objects that look like they would be perfect for making hair, and the documentation says you can conform "drape" the Nurbs objects to imported mesh objects. I wish there was a tutorial to get me started sculpting hair! Or a tutorial for just where to start in modeling, for under $100 total I manageged to purchase legal copies of Amorphium, Raydream3D, and 4DVision Sculptor, but I just don't even know where to start... I've made the wine glasses, some plates, some morphs in Amorphium, but I'm having trouble even conceptualizing complex objects let alone hair. In anycase, everything is back burner as my sudden move to Canada is four weeks a way now. Pardon me for prattling on here.

Wow...it's always interesting to see what different people are interested in...things you'd never think of. I LOVE the'52 Plymouth suggestion...mostly because my first car was a '51...ehhe. I've been modeling since 3DS ver 1.0 and still can't imagine modeling a car...despite the fact that car meshes are what brought me into 3d work! That would be pretty amazing if you managed that, kyrin. Smallspace...I've been pretty project bored lately also...I like your cottage idea. Architectural renderings are the only 3D work I ocasionally get paid for...gonna take a look at your links...

I've never really done a car before either, but I think I might give it a shot. (Y'all did know that viewpoint has a classic old 57 (or 52 not sure) for free right?) I'd need some pictures of the car you want. And that bus... I'm not much of a car buff so I have not a clue what vehicles you are all talking about... I'll try and work the other stuff out as I can...shouldn't take me long for some of them. Thanks Kyrin

Damn, i'm gonna go nuts trying to remeber. There is a freeware Carra typ app on the net but I can't rember where it is, I downloaded it and tried it at work, it was major cool. You import an image of a car or building viewd on the oblique, click control points boxing in the major forms and it makes a smoothed object and map that is very convincing. Blew me away, the URL is burried in a thread about mapping faces to the Poser Head which this app can't do but it makes totally amazing cars and buildings.
