heyas; didn't you know daz had a walrus? :) isn't that one of rob's?? if you have the walrus head and neck stuck on your human... er, dwarf, you can mess with the welding of the neck and (possibly) not mess up the vertex order of the head. if you don't weld anything, you'll be fine. why don't you try just re-shaping (morphing) the neck so it fits over the human neck/chest like a sorta big mane deal?
