Hi Mark, Firstly thank you for such a detailed description of what I need to do. If I can get a break from work today I am going to give this a go. In the meantime, I have a screen of just the skeleton. I wasn't sure which angle was best for you to look at, so if you need another shot from a different angle then let me know and I will do this. https://www.mattscanvas.co.uk/penguinskeleton.jpg Because the human model in my tutorial (first screen shot) was split into 3 or 4 pieces, I presumed this was needed to get the natural movement of the model. So I split the main body of the penguin into different pieces, however now that I am joining everything back up, I know this was the wrong thing to do! This is prob where you see all the extra unwanted joins! Any advice on the model or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will also report back on how I get on with this next stage.
