Cool, whatever works best for you. At least now you have a choice and can choose a prefered method. Nurbs are useful blocking out, but I prefer to jump straight into poly as I can have full control over my edge loops without having to worry about a nurbs conversion and then start placing. Its less hassle...for me anyway - plus this tute is actually reproduced from my time working as a modeller in VFX modelling for tv. So its a proven reliable method as well have fun.... Jay
