If you wanted it animated (or even if you didn't, I guess), then the thing you could do that has been mentioned before has been to create a mgent that deforms the face/body part, and then parent it to the 'hard' object. Make sure you have the magnet zone, falloff and everything set as you wish. Then as the body part comes into contact with the deformer, it will squish realistically. Wish I could show you an example, but it's not something I've gotten round to, or so far needed to, try. jonthecelt
