I usually make all of my bases from the ground up in Hexagon, but there are times when having a raw base mesh as a starter is a real time-saver.

Should I assume that only modeling done entirely "from the ground up" should be posted?

Nate our main concern is for Poser related premade content in the gallerys not base meshes.
i understand as a commercial illustrator you need to use any means availible to achieve a deadline, thats not a problem
if fact any insights you can share on this topic are most appreciated.
please remember this site is a 3d modeling site, the goals here are to learn 3d modeling techniques, uv mapping etc not posting poser related content.
this isnt aimed at you Nate btw thats for everyone
for the record i own poser 4/5 and 6 and yes you can mention Daz just dont do it too often
