aaaah alas I don't have the creeper figure to steal feet from, even if zygote would allow it tartan: fair enough, it never hurts to get permission first =) That will just save the trouble of making a figure we aren't allowed to distribute sorry, I was busy all day and couldn't make the lizard-guy (I was doing some tests to get into a college that teaches 3d animation) - what is the best way to attach a tail to a man? if I add the parts in the hiearchy editor it just makes the tail into a new figure...should I rebuild the hiearchy from scratch? or just have the tail as a secondary figure parented to his hips? That would be my preference as long as people don't mind it having that extra icon in the hiearchy editor. It would also allow the removal of the tail for sitting poses etc. I've still got to do claws and feet, then texture map the model SewerRat
