Thanks for the nice feedback - why three times, though? :-) My idea, actually, was to keep it as simple as possible first, then later add more detail as necessary. I've no experience whatsoever in facial animation, but from what I've read, one should be able to get by with very few polygons, actually, if the mesh is constructed with animation (or just expressiveness) in mind. There's an excellent book on these things, "Stop staring", by Jason Osipa.
