He he... thought you'd suggest I modelled it.

Yup... I could do I'm sure... and I should... just being lazy... and hoping there'd be a nice ready-made kicking about. LOL ;-)

I've modelled a bit since getting Hexagon earlier in the year... indeed I'd been tinkering with Shade Basic and Blender prior to that... and then, in fact, I spent a fair bit of time making this spaceship at that point, in Hexagon:

...a pretty large and elaborate model to try more or less starting with! I totally bodged it together really... and it has, so far, definitely proven over-ambitious

It was a good thing to try to pick up a few techniques doing though... and moreover discover what didn't work or shouldn't be done, to some extent. I got totally stuck with it around the point I got it looking like this Vue test render though... still got a lot to do on it and no idea where to begin UV mapping or anything like that... LOL.

It also looks pretty bad imported into Poser. Smoothing / hard edges don't work right or something. Vue seems to deal with my probably dodgy mesh better... :lol:

Probably needs binned and started again from scratch once I know more what I'm doing...

So yeah, modelling a box platform and the wooden steps would probably be a better, more appropriate, fresh-start point for me, on the learning-to-model front...

If you don't mind giving me some pointers when I get even more stuck with doing the basic box and steps though... that'd be great
