Quote - I like the look of the gun you've made Eril-nl, great piece of modeling, don't you find making things for Reality/LuxRender so much easier than just Daz Studio - things look so much more realistic.

Thanks John!
Working with 3D mesh objects is soooo different from what I was used to; man, are solids easy in comparison! All this creasing and welding, tri's and quads, non-manifold and subdivision stuff, it's driving me bonkers! But is it worth it!
I fell into this trap when I started making photogrammetric 3D scans for my engineering work last december. I had to find a way to handle the resulting Mega-meshes, and using Zbrush and DAZ Studio seemed to be a good stop-gap solution until MUCH more expensive tools were available.
But then I found I could do FUN-things with them too! Oh dear....
Anyway, I've just started making dedicated props for DAZ, so there's still a lot to learn for me when it comes to surfaces, rigging and all of that.
Here's a simple folding chair I'm working on. I couldn't find one ready-made on the interwebs, so I decided to make it myself. Nothing too serious, just a practice thingy I needed anyway. And by no means ready to share, in its present state it's far too large.
Cheers!
