Hello,

and thanks for the comprehensive reply. I agree about the edgeflow - the ears have got some serious problems. The overall shape is getting there but my lines are a bit of a mess - I'm starting over with that in mind.

Thanks also re the advice on UV mapping - I've only done a little and it is difficult. I'll try the technique you suggest - I think I'd have been more likely just to make a few auto-maps and stitch them together, which is a very basic method.

Re the image - have you by any chance worked through the book the game artist's guide to maya? That exact image comes with it, and is indeed very handy for laying out a UV map.

thanks again,

gubar.
