I put that badly I suppose, of course you can make a single mesh, I make most of my models in Wings starting with a single cube. What Wings won't produce is a 2 dimensional object like a plane or sheet of paper. It must have 3 dimensions even if one of them is tiny. So something like eyelashes on a poser model wouldn't be possible. However you can assign a "hole" material to any selection of faces and when you export the mesh I believe the faces using the "hole" material are deleted. That ought to get round that problem. There are a few limitations to the version I use, 0.97 or similar but these are being addressed and may already sorted out in the latest versions. For instance my version doesn't support groups and won't import poser models. But, like I said the latest version has a lot of improvements like built in UV mapping and an inflate tool which I think would be really useful for smoothing curved surfaces plus I believe the poser import has been sorted out which may mean Wings will now handle groups! As for your type of modelling, well Subdivision is generally considered the best approach for organics I'd say Wings is perfect for your needs! Baz
