Imacken - thanks; I will take more time to examine the human face more closely - I have been amazed at just how hard a task it is proving to replicate a given set of features accurately. The situation Im in requires that I do just this for a friend whos trying to make a 3d talking model from studio shots of a real human. Owning Mimic, I thought this would be a breeze. On attempting the intitial character creation however, things are not as simple as they first seemed! Just wondered if there was anyone who specifically might enjoy the "challenge" of this situation, whether to sharpen their skills base and/or experience working to a tight deadline (a week). Oh, and there IS a fee payable to whomever makes it too ;-)
