I want to create a few rocks and boulders for a scene I'm working on. Does anyone have a tutorial or know of a good rock making tutorial? TIA, -Starkdog

Wow, where to begin...
There use to be a few decent rock generator scripts. Many have gone the way of the Dodo.
Here's one: http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/272737

Or you could use Poser's displacement feature on a sphere (with a noise map)

Of course, there's Bryce 5.5! It has a built-in rock gen.

depending on the shape, you can model one in Wings 3d. There's another program, called Topmod, that can make some very unusual shapes. Both are free. Wings has a forum here, if you need help. Topmod, well, I'm struggling with it.I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
