Geep... alright! I am much in need of this. I can't figure out Anim8tox, Wings, Milkshape, RayDream, Shade, any of them. I love Metaforms aproach but the edge artifacts make it useless for anything rectilinear. So I have to make all my props in Poser. Your help is very much appreciated. What prop do I want? A camphored box with just the most slightesly beveled edges so the bevel on a virtually 4 or 8 foot box would be a virtual quarter inch as opposed to a couple inches. And that this box be scaleable without throwing off the constancy of the bevel size. Why? I am always working with boxes and pedestals for my virtual painting studio scenes but the edges render too sharp to look natural. If I weld the verices the boxes render funny and if I use FireFly smoothing they blow up. Also... if there was any effect that would give the illusion of a gradual weld from one form to another as thought the two forms were cast as a single piece with a small and gradual transition between the forms... I have tried placing inverted cylinder segments over joins to "weld" them without having the vertices lined up exactly but it hasn't really worked out yet. Anyway... anything I can do in Poser or further understand in Poser is much welcome. Thanks.
