Hiya Trav, My application is LightWave (because that's all I got), but i'm strictly a non-organic modeler. I usually start with a sectional profile polygon that I can extrude and go from there. All of my models can be built with a handful of the basic tools, straight out of the box. I rely heavily on extrusions, bevels, smooth shift and stencils to modify basic primitives. Depending on what I am modeling my work flow varies, if I am working on a building - plan, mass then detail. If it is a weapon - side view, mass then detail. If it is a robot, then I start with moving details (like fingers) and work backwards to a whole that makes some sense. Doesn't always work. I find that my favorite tool of all is "undo" :oP Next one up... Cheers! - M
