I make the body parts in Organica (exept for the tentacles), Organica is a metballs modeler that is pretty cool, it is limited and it's first and probably last version. You can see more about it at coolfun.com. I export the Organica body parts as 3ds format and import all the parts into Rhino. In Rhino I arrance the body and limbs, claws, etc as I like them, I can copy, rotate, scale, mirror parts, etc. I then export all the parts as a single obj file into poser4. I do some stuff in poser then export a new obj file into uvmapper, then re-import into poser for more steps, then save the new figure, do joint params. I think I'll make a simple and basic step by step with pictures tutorial with pre-supplied parts. Davo
