Sorry, I should of also specifically said White Elephant Gift Exchange. There are probably many ways to do it. Usually everyone brings an unmarked wrapped gift that's put with the others, sometimes with a theme or price limit. Everyone draws a number to see who goes first. Each person can choose one of the random gifts, or choose to steal one of the previously opened gifts from another person. The person that loses their gift gets to pick another unopened gift. A gift can only be stolen twice, after that, no one can take it away. The person that went first gets to steal at the very end since they couldn't at the beginning.
So it's basically a lot of fun. When it's something as simple as ornaments, everyone is usually too curious what 's next than to steal. Also, everyone was polite enough not to take the one I made away from the first person who got it. We use to do this with my family/relatives during xmas, and can be as simple as wrapping up something you didn't want around the house as a joke. One year my uncle had wrapped up a freaking crossbow.
Just got Modo and loving it so far. Has a learning curve transitioning from Hexagon, but so much more powerful once you get the hang of it. I still use Hexagon for little things, like its lattice deformer on spiral curves for this ornament. I originally got ZBrush version 3 for around $299-$350 back in the day through Daz 3D, and just recently bought a used copy of Modo for $900 after license transfer fees, but it also included $350 worth of plug-ins (Auto Character Setup and Non-Photorealistic Render). Modo still has a 40% sale going on. In the end, it was worth it since I've been doing more freelance and the current project will pay for it.
