Right! The Poser Prop Type cubes are to Perfect". I need some cubes with dings, chips, cracks, softended and broken edges and horrid chunks missing. I could go in in post and do it with PhotoChop but...too much work. If I knew how to model I wouldmake my own...but I don't. :-{{ Anyone know where I can find terribly broken, chipped and stressed cubes, blocks and related props! :-}} Yes, I would even pay a small fee for the right kind! LOL

You could use magnets or the wave deformer to deform a cube prop, and spawn morphs from these deformations if necessary. The cube primitive is very high-res (lots of polygons), so it can tolerate some abuse.

But those deformations won't look like chips. I've been trying to figure out a way to chip things in Poser since I started using it. In Bryce, I make lo-poly, sharp-edged little mountains and boolean them into the edges of objects that look too perfect. But no booleans in Poser....(sigh)

You don't have Poser 5, by any chance? Displacement mapping is perfect for weathered surfaces.

Poser 5 for the Mac doesn't exist yet. And with all the bugs and problems folks keep reporting here, it sounds like it will have a steeper learning curve than Poser 4, which I'm still slogging away at after many moons....(sigh again)
