I'm into the mecha genre myself. Stuff that I'd like to see in commercial mecha models: 1) Semi-detailed to detailed cockpit. Doesn't have anything fancy, but if your model has a place for a pilot to sit in, it greatly increases the value and usefulness of your model. 2) Weapons packs for customizability for the user of your model. This way, non-modellers can enjoy mixing and matching load-outs depending on their needs... 3) Including small details like maintenance access hatches and missile launch bays that open (etc) is a real nice touch and shouldn't be too difficult to do. They could be done as morph targets for various body parts... 4) External damage packs... Melted armour plates, armour plates punctured by ballastic weapons, destroyed weapons etc... Perhaps make them switchable using Poser geometry switching techniques. That way you can include things like destroyed equipment or limbs within the model and the user can turn them on or off as needed. 5) Support equipment model packs. A mecha can't operate in the field without maintenance and re-supply. Including things like repair or construction gantries, munitions loading equipment like forklifts, towing vehicles and the like would be wonderful. I've got tonnes of other ideas if you're interested. :-) Nukem
