Edward,
>> Are you controlling the face count with the face slider? <<
Yes, I just keep adding "1" until I get a permissable mesh. I think I have a
solution to the problem. I'm making up a script for the final render and
studying the camera shots. I'll just have to make more than one model. I think
with some planning I can put the detail where I need it. For example, if the
lower body is not in the shot, then I won't have it in the model. If a
particular sequence will be all frontal, then I'll take the back off of the
model. I can then use the faces to detail only what the camera is going to see.
It's going to be more work, but I knew coming in that this was going to be a
labor intensive business. I'm also starting to understand the importance of
storyboards now too. <g>
Thanks Ed, Terry
