Keith, >> I have just set myself the task of creating an elephant in 3DS 4. >> I can create the trunk, tusks, legs and ears but have come to a complete halt >> at creating the head. I would approach this with creating cross sections in the shaper as in the previous message or study the shape real closely and see if it can be done with deform fit. I was given the task of creating flying pigs in a screen saver package (3DPC for Windows) and actually used both methods. With shaper cross sections I created the head and attached that to the body. Later I figuired you could create the head and body together with deform fit. If you have a chance check out Michele Bousquet's Tips and Tricks series books. I wrote a tutorial on creating the flying pigs using deform fit. I believe the mesh is on the disk in the back. Let me know what you think if you do check it out. Ralph
