Hello movida,... Extending the polys from the tailbone,...I'm not sure it would look as natural, but who knows, it might work out better. My current project uses a horse body, so I may try both ways while I'm working on the tail. And dollpartz,...actually I have a couple of horses right outside :) I've been using Lightwave since version 4,...now with 6.5 I get to figure it out all over again,... ~sigh.
