Thank all of you very much! I will look into FaceGen as it sounds like the right tool here. Also will check out the long list given so far. Wow! So many different apps that it is no wonder that 3D graphics can be daunting. AutoCAD is better with solid modelling for drafting/design purposes anyway. I've never used it for 'artistic' modelling with meshes. Not saying that it can't do it (and it should for the cost! ;), but just that it is geared towards 3D design and not 3D graphics. Thanks for the heads up on ZBrush. Will definitely demo before considering purchase. Now on to filling my harddrive with 3D applications!! Kuroyume
