  Thanks!  :)

  Yep, no hidden message here Ron. Just five heads floating in liquid
copper. Standard Copper_Metal is the texture, and the face is more or
less finished as Medusa, (got to finish the ears).

   Wings - I'm starting to really like this modeler.

Nice quote.  That is the book I was referring to alright.  It's cool 
that you pursued it.  It's a book I return to from time to time.  One of 
the starting points for the discussion in the book is: why is it that 
the trees in highly realistic 17th or 18th century paintings look like 
feather dusters to us?  He proceeds from there to describe how children 
actually learn to draw by learning to repeat set formulae for different 
subjects and takes it from there.

I'm always impressed by the desire of those who refuse to play nice with
CG. It would be so easy to make some trees, buildings, or fractals.
Modeling a face is straight f***ing nuts.

  LOL! You're not wrong! Have you tried Wings Shay? It's pretty damned
good, and goes waaaaay further than the basics, (there's a lot of
heavy duty tricks that can be done with it, which I have yet to
learn - do a search, tutorials etc. This guy is good,
http://www.geocities.com/paulthepuzzles/aardvarks.html )

   Anyway, glad you liked it. :)

   ~Steve~

Cool heads! Pretty much sums up how I feel in the morning.

I pissed around with it for a few minutes once. I've heard that it's
nice, but I don't enjoy that type of modeling.

   That's fair enough. Which type do you prefer?

I like text-modeling, and building objects around which I can get my
head. Moving points around until something looks right doesn't work for
me. My "look" is too poorly calibrated.
