Under step 1. Modeling, after you create a deformed sphere there is a step to export to DXF, then reimport the file. What exactley does this do? And what would happen if you didnt do this step? The export/import is done to improve the look of the spheres which are created when the atomizer is applied. If you don't take this step the spheres are just a little to blocky for my taste. You should try it to see the difference! New Tutorials - A tutorial on how to import a Poser figure and get it to render correctly. I know these tutorials exist, but they all involve using 3rd party apps and are way too complicated, there has got to be an easier way. Well dude, sorry to say I don't even own poser so I can't answer to this one. - Modeling a Fork or Spoon I've done the fork many times to teach other people. It was a tutorial that was provided with one of the versions of Raydream (I think CorelDream). Sounds like a good one to produce in formal fashion. I've thought about a spoon but never really tried one before. It's got to be easy though. A nice set of silverware would be a nice contribution to the CD too (hint hint hint!!!!). - Modeling a Fantasy Long Sword I've done buckets of swords. Go and take a look at the one I posted as comparisons to differenct lighting options when C2 was just released. I can do a second sword (the lightsaber being the first one). - Modeling a Greek style structure that surrounded water pools. You know the kind with the columns of marble with a slab of marble on the top like a catwalk attached to all the pillars?? This is a tough one in terms of the number of possible components and how far it can go. You mentioned that it should be simple and I whole heartedly agree. The lamp was pretty daggone long (too long for my taste) and I suspect that was true for everybody else considering I got almost zero feedback on it. I'll have to think about this one a little bit. One other note, it wouldn't break my heart if other people besides our standard tutorial contributors wanted to step up to the plate. Send me an IM and we can get you all hooked up! Thanks for the feedback Paul! -Kix
