Thanx a lot for you explanation. In theory I understand you, will have to test it out and see if I can make it work. I am a bit dense in converting text-tutorial to actuall Maya skill. I guess it would be great for Maya compared to Modo if somebody could make a little movie-tut and put up on youtube... nudge, nudge

As for your guns. Since there really is no thing like laser-guns it is impossible to say they don't look ok. But I liked the design with white on the guns and no bottle underneath teh barrel, that bottle made it look like a water gun to me. Personally if I would do a laser gun thingy. I think I would like to make it different from the mould. Maybe something like those LED lights that we have on our heads and hats these days. After all it should shoot light and not metal-pieces so barrel seems unlogical to me.
