more I look at the gun the more I like it, don't think it needs much more work to it, it is for anime doll afterall and like yggdrasil said it's gotta look good in toon mode too. we could prolly texture it for detail in normal mode and leave it as is for toon renders. in Toon renders I would draw on and extra detail I may want added anyway, I prefer the model to have crisp lines than dotted lines which ya get with more detailed models. On the Swat Officer I did I had to almost compleatly redraw the M16 as it was so badly dotted it was hard to make it out. 'dotted' is what i call it when the model is too detailed for a cartoon render and the black lines distort into many small coloured dots that not only break the shap up but also bleed into the nearby colours too, which results in a lot of postwork redrawing the lines and recolouring.

Looks good Insomnia :) and cartoon mode with lines is fine thats basically what ya start with on a cell shading. if it looks good in that it will be fine, and it looks great :)

ok did a couple more test from new and it seems to be random if it does it or not, 2 times I could move the camera view with the ball fine and on last try it did the odd spiral thing again :/

I have a problem with the ribbon, not tried the rope yet, but when I pose the ribbon and then move the scene around using the ball the ribbon I posed turns into a spiral. I did parent the ribbon to the hand but I don't see why that should make the ribbon turn into a spiral just by moving the camera view with the ball. Anyone know why this happens?

yeah I'll go with a combination of the XM29 and the FN2000 with a suitable anime look to it etc. and a pistol to match but it's got to be practicle the pistol, the Jakal one although looked menacing is far to long in the barrel to be a practical combat pistol. Something like that would be nice for making anime like trigun, guyver and Outlaw Star though.

Guys, I have a problem with the gymnast product. the rope and the ribbon don't appear when I add them to my scene, it appears in the drop downs and I can see the selected circle in the scene window but no items it's like it can't find the objects or something?

hehehe what are those manacles for in the barbie box? didn't know she was into S&M :) love the promo pick fun idea :) Will play with the gymnast later was ill yesteday so didn't get on the puter at all :(

LOL I posted after the gymnastics piccy and about 10 of you snuck extra posts in too :) Love the kitty faces too :)

cool, love the gymnastics :) I like the red and black costume :) Compiler: yeah I don't use poser 5 and I figured alot of other people don't as well so went with the pants to get round the seams problem, but I think it actually adds to the look makes it a bit more animeish I think.

there is a victorian style dress available in the free section and Teppan or Taru have some skirts on their sites, I forget the links now, but you can find them if ya goto the Maya X website.
