Looks like our forum has gone into hibernation for a bit... let's see if we can get it jump started again. :o) I've finished work on a simple bladed weapon for use in Poser. As most of you already know Poser (4) has a default smoothing angle of 100, which makes things look bloated and puffy. This works fine for characters and pillows but not simple mechanical, or non-organic, models. I've modeled this in LightWave 3D, keeping in mind that Poser also prefers tris-and-quads over n-gons. I don't really mind about the non-planar polygons, because Poser is going to smooth all those out anyway. Will post a bit more. :o) Cheers! M
