What he means is that it's box modelling. However, what he may not be aware of is that you can take any polys in wings and apply them to the "hole" material -- when exported, the hole material vanishes -- those polys do not exist. So it can be used for creating the single sided meshes for various things. for what little it is worth, Silo is a nice tool -- but it is not free. I have been fairly astounded at just how good for modelling for Poser wings really is -- it just takes getting to know the program itself and what it can do, then thinking n ways to use the things it can do to achieve your goal. It's surprisingly powerful -- as far as pure box modelling goes, it's definitely on par with the current version of 3DS MAX or Lightwave -- but it does not have a huge number of time saving features -- so you sorta have to do it the "old fashioned" way. But, basically, if you can envision it, you can make it in wings. THe tutorials linked to on the main site and the past posts here at rosity have an amazing array of cool tricks, all presented in very easy to "get" ways that show you nifty stuff. in fact, the tip I meniton above comes from reading int he wings forum here ;) (Thanks BazC!)
