odf,

Quote - So I'm making finalizing the body geometry and joint setup a priority now, which needs to happen before Phil can do his magic.

Cough... cough... I hate to bring this up, as you have more than enough on your plate already, but I feel that the tongue is a also something else that needs attention, before the rig and geometry is finalised. I don't feel that the current two part tongue works very well (Have you tried poking it out through her lips then bending it?). I feel that there are issues with the rigging, grouping, topology, and perhaps UVs.

It is (yet again) too late at night to go into details. I will try to say more tomorrow. I just wanted to foreshadow the fact that I am likely to become an unbearable pest over the tongue in the next few days.

Then again, perhaps the tongue is not relevant to WW, but I thought I had better raise it now, rather than wait till it is too late.
