There's always been a shortage of good whips on the market owing to the difficulty of rigging long bone chains in a way that's easy for customers to use.  Well, DS4.5 makes that easier than it's ever been, and now you can benefit from that as I do. ;)  

Here's a tip on using long-chain items: [link]

And here's how to create your own: [link]

Tip 1 is don't do a cat o' nine tails or superrigged dreadlocks for your first project.  Do something with one bone chain, like  a tail or a worm.  It will be much less hair-pulling when you're ready to graduate to the big stuff.

I'm a 3d modeler and texturer. At the moment I mostly work with making conforming items for Genesis in DAZ Studio.

I'm trying to get going in 3D modelling. Can you recommend a good 3D modeling program that's readily affordable for someone on a budget?

Blender, Blender, Blender, and Blender. ;) GIMP for your texturing.

Blendercookie and Youtube for beginner tutorials.

You can't paint across UVs like you can with 3dcoat and Zbrush but you can do about everything else - model, sculpt, group, shade, it's all there.

Then when you can afford it get 3dCoat for the other stuff ($350). Then when you've mastered that and made more money, if you still need more sculpt/paint/bake features, get Zbrush ($700).

I use Blender for my professional products right now and I only just got 3dCoat to help with special texturing projects.

Well, they like to put the store on sale when I get a new product out, and I've got the Whips scheduled for release; the problem is getting marketing to tell me WHEN they're going to release them.

Hey wanted to ask you if we can use Sickle Rigging and Morphing System for Xurge products on Genesis or V4.
