Stephen, <<I'm still unclear though how you lofted the head with the mouth insides pulled out. Does this mean he looked like he was throwing-up his insides before you pushed his mouth back in? Also, did you use the deform/fit function to create the initial head or was it lofted from a stack of cross-sectional objects?>> That's right, You can create a guy throwing up his guts and push them back in, but now that I think about it, I created the skin kid a little differently. I Lofted a surface of revolution so I had a vase shape on it's side. I then pushed and pulled the verticies around till I had a head, with the mouth of the vase being the kid's mouth. I hope Gary will upload the mesh so you can play with it. Feel free to use it if you like as a starting point for your work. I am impressed that you are making a cartoon short. It's something I would love to do. If I only had the time…. <g> Regards. Glenn Zephyr. PS: sorry the reply is late…a lightning strike took out my modem Boo Hoo!
