Looking pretty good so far--the main trouble I see is related to the buttstock and pistol grip (but look very lumpy), as well as issues inherited from no quite capturing the width of the receiver properly.

Do you see any warning or error messages in the script window when this happens? I've noticed that the context menus sometimes don't use long (unique) object names for querying nodeType, so the command to build the menu will fail (in Maya 2008 anyway). You might see a warning saying something like "more than one object…

EDIT - just found remove doubles, but that doesn't help when I need to fill a gap :S Smoothing groups, the only method ive seen so far is edge…
We're upgrading our video cards at work and I'm wondering if anyone has used these cards with maya 2008 and photoshop cs4 and has an opinion on them. We are currently using the quadrofx 1700 and it does an okay job with maya, but doesn't like photoshop at all. None of our artists can successfully run cs4 in opengl mode…

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction or maybe just tell me how to go about putting the cloth modifier to work. I use 3ds Max 2008. I'm going to have a longish thing of cloth hang down off a robot I've been modeling, and I want it to be able to react to the legs hitting it when I go to pose it. I know…
