"FN." Heh, actually, I'd have a Sig if I could afford it. An MP5 would be nice though. Heck, I'd even settle for an Uzi :-) "...5 frantic forum replies to enable the downloads." You are a sick man :-) Mr. trebuchet is incredible and incredibly complex. My god, they modeled every rivet and tie and I think I saw a turd from one of the horses in there too. I think you should be able to get it posable enough for gov't work. I loaded it into Art of Illusion and started turning off things to see what was what-tedious. I finally ended up saving 3 pieces, the frame, the ropes and the arm + sling. Imported into Poser (lost the mapping) and actually opened and used the joint editor for the first time ever to set the pivot point for the arm. There was a teensy scaling issue to correct but other than that, she swings. I was in a hurry but to do it right, you'd want the pouch and it's ropes as separate parts so it can pivot correctly and maybe some other parts as well. I guess the ropes might need to bend. You could probably substiture Ajax EZ Pose tube for that. Of course if you were a true masochist, you could use every little part and do really authentic animations but I'd rather eat my keyboard.
