Hi gang, I'm finished with that car!  The hardest part (outside of mulitiple crashes) is trying to get the body smooth with no dents especially around the wheel wells.  I tried all sorts of methods, put it looks like the cube method works about the best.  Now that I think I know what to look for, I can take one of the professionally made ones that I have, break it apart and see how they overcome the dent problems.  Sometimes changing the smoothing to around 70 percent helps.

I just got a free version of Hexagon 2.2 (July issue of 3D World Magazine - 118).  Trying to find all the tools.  Some tools work better in Carrara like welding poly line groups together, haven't found a way yet to do it in Hexagon.  Yes, once a surface is created everything can be welded the same as in Carrara.

How is that for changing the theme right in the middle of a thread.  Jan
