Quote - I left the hands plain without any JCM's or morphs of any kind, this will allow odf to add poly's or change things around as he sees fit, with out messing up the hand grasp etc.  I understand this is an alfa release, yes?

That's true. As long as no one's made any non-second-skin gloves, changing the hand mesh a little shouldn't break anything.

I have to confess, though, that for the time being, I'm no longer in "fiddling around endlessly with every little bit of the mesh" mode. So basically, I have a tendency now to leave things be unless they're obviously broken (as was the case with the ears a little while back) and concentrate on getting the figure ready for use. What that means for the hands is that I might have a look at the knuckles at the first finger joints and see if adding a few polygons there will make them bend more smoothly, but that's pretty much it.
