X2K! You got my encouragement! That clay hair has got to go...and I've seen enough bald dorks to make me laugh just thinking about it. I was thinking (I'm still a newbie so this may be totally out there). Do the layers have to be "thin?" Seems that the top layer would just need to lay on top of the lower layer and map to the appropriate surfaces. If that were the case, couldn't you just resize a copy and place it slightly above the other (or below depending on which way you size it)?
