Thank you for the reply Trav.  I did get past the part that I posted about in this thread actually.  Thankfully.  Still however am having problems with the figure.  I posted in the Apollo forum over at CP that I'm looking for someone else to collaborate with me on this one and finish it up.  It desperately needs a new pair of eyes looking at it.

The grouping is done, the modeling is done, the mapping needs help but is done and the rigging has been done about 100 times now.  Basically I just need someone to check over the rigging and grouping and tweak I think.  Going to offer the model as a freebie for apollo so obviously anyone who helps will get equal credit.  

So with that said, if anyone is interested in helping me finish this up - I'd appreciate it.  I REALLY need to be able to move on to something else.  I got a plaid package from the MP for texturing it and will learn all about morphs for it (somehow if I can find the info somewhere.)

Anyway this is my cry for help /cry.

PM me here if interested.  No takers so far in the Apollo forum.
