That is most timely - thanks hedd! I'm on the ears now of my figure... think I'll have to redo them, though.

This really all becomes an exercise on edge-loops, this whole figure-modelling thing. You try to set your main loops right, try to avoid poles and tris and ngons, and try to have edge-loops move in such a way that Poser won't have dramas with how the mesh flows. Saying that: I'm not convinced yet I will be bringing this figure into Poser. The main reason I decided to make a figure in the first place was so that I had a figure - one I owned outright - that I could rig as I wanted with impunity, and add mesh as I saw fit if rigging issues developed because I knew that figure.

Whether the final workflow will actually support this approach is another matter. :blink:
