I had AM 2000 since April and it just kind of sat on the self. At first I thought that it was a confusing program to deal with. But now I am starting to get the hang of the spline modeling. It kicks anything that I ever played with out the door and onto the street. To model a face I would say use a rotoscope of the face of a real person's face. and buy those training vidio's they will cut weeks of the learing curve. You will be amazed with what you can do with the extrude command. LOki de monster
