The texture requires no patience, just a simple flood fill will do, the mapping was done with a combination of high end programs and planning ahead...I began mapping the pants when they were still a half figure, ie only one leg... As for the dog, working on it this weekend I hope...I want him to be perfect before putting him out there for you guys...Capsces has already agreed to morph him into lots of other things...who knows maybe she can drag a cat out of him :)
