OK, there's nothing in the scene, other than the rickshaw, 3 lights, a camera and the floor plane that's default in Blender.  My default setup scene has the 3 lights and camera on the 20th layer, away from any objects I may be working on so I don't accidently select them as well when I "select all".  Just keeps them out of the way, so to speak.

As far as version, I haven't upgraded from 2.61 yet.  I know, I should, but I don't get to play in Blender often so I haven't gotten around to it.

As far as the original model mesh mirrored, I have no idea.  I believe, IIRC, I had downloaded it from one of the freepository forums on the old DAZ forums (before they updated the site last May), so I don't recall who the creator was.  I only know that when I look at it through WinExplorer it's dated 2006, so it's old.

If I can find a link to the download on the old archived forums and it's still active, I'll post a link here.  Other than that, I don't recall the usage rights, so even though I want to map and texture it, I have no plans of playing with the mesh at all.  If you know of a way I can check in Blender to see if the mesh was mirrored, let me know how to check and I will.

Edited To Add:  I found the original post on the old DAZ forum, but the download link is no longer good as the creator's site is no longer online --> http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=39515

The modeller's name was Couerl, and at the time he was a DAZ PA, but he no longer is, so have no idea how to get in touch with him.
