Yeah making the eyes look right is hard. I'll keep playing with it. That link on edge loops looked good. when I talk about edge loops the important thing to me is that all the polygons are four-sided. That way the topology is basically a grid. Then if you select and edge you and select the whole edge loop which is like a isoparm on a nurbs surface. I think you need all four-sided polys for this to work right.

Well I'm going back to the zoo today to look at the lions and tigers get fed. Should be fun.
