Hi Nicholas, Your model bears an uncanny resemblance to me - especially the stomach. I am flattered to find myself in portraiture - even if it is not intentional. Thank you! I'm actually quite new to carrara, but have been studying it intensively for the past two weeks. I don't know how you would make that polymesh follow the movements of the armature you have placed within. My guess is that polymesh vertices are strategically linked to the hotpoints of the primitives that comprise the skeleton. Yes/no, maybe so? What is SDS and where do I find its setting. I'm in Carrara 1.1 BTW. -DN
