Sorry again, I just can't resist jumping in here! Thip: I've adapted your technique a bit for Carraras tools. Instead of boolean slices I used the "hide and reveal" functions to create the slices as I went along. The basic meshes are a series of cylinders (an adaption of PhilC's cube method) fitted to the body thrunk, arm and leg then blended together at the shoulder and hip, and in Vicki's case, some adaption for other attributes. Again, once the general ouline is created I add mesh density by hand until I'm satified it will "move" well in Poser. Sometimes I have to go back and add more after boning the figure, when it just won't move right. I really do want to write this up with screen captures once I set up a site to host it on, it's nothing new, just a blend of several others techniques adapted to Carrara's tools. I've never used max, but I've read about this function and a similar one in Rhino, over on RDNA. Your right, who can afford those programs! I sure can't. mike
