Wampyir - Yea - There are some problems with the tutorial and instructions in the documentation. In RDS 5.x with the Mouth/Eyes part inside the MFM (Mesh Form Modeler) you need to detach the Eyes from the Mouth. You know that already.. ;) Just bring the part (mouth and eyes polymesh)into the MFM. Then select the Mouth and Eyes polymesh...I assume they are a single polymesh. Then have the pointer tool selected, while holding down either Alt or Shift I cant remember which, its one or the other..(on the PC..no clue on the MAC)drag a box around the area (Polygons) you want to DE-Select. You will now be De-Selecting Polygons from the Polymesh. Try De-Selecting both Eyes and leaving only the mouth selected. Now go up to the PolyMesh pulldown menu and select Detach Polygons. RDS should now give you a Mouth polymesh object and a Eyes polymesh object. Now select the Eyes polymesh object (by double clicking it) and again De-Select a single eyes leaving only one eyes Polygons selected or highlighted. Again select Polymesh then Detach Polygons. You should now have a mouth polymesh object and 2 seperate Eye polymesh objects. You can now select each seperat polymesh to name it. ie : lEye, rEye and mouth. Does that help you along?? If not let me know. Clint - RDS/Carrara Forum Hawkin-Z GraF-X http://www.gw.total-web.net/~chawkins
