Hi,
I new to LW 7.0 & currently going through a number of books on use this product. I'm wondering what the best technique is to use in turning a clay model into a pose able character in LW 7.0. The character is fairly detailed with human and detailed robotic body parts. I have 1 digital camera @ my disposal. Any help would by greatly appreciated.

D-Sculptor (http://www.d-vw.com/dsculptor/about/about_d_sculptor.htm) is probably best technology around... You take a ton of shots of the image and then trace that with something similar to an alpha map and the program uses that info to create a mesh... I got a non-commercial version of it that I obtained from a cd mag cover disk... the real program isn't too high priced considering how powerful it is.
