Yeah it was pretty straightforward to get them to conform ... but I need to smooth out/tweak some bends here and there (not major, I'm just picky) and if someone could point me to a tutorial where I can make that happen, that would be great. Then I'll need to study up a little bit on the DS Shaders.
