When you say detailed areas will be replaced, what do you mean. I'm not really great at spline based modelling at all, I would probably have a go at this in Organica and supply a head mesh. If that does not work out I don't think I'd be much help at all :-( Davo ps, can we take this email? I'm not supposed to be on the net during work hours, we have internet police if you can believe it. davids@esmcivil.com
