Hey Chirone those steps fixed the problem! I've added that to my 'stuff I shouldn't forget' notes for Maya. Thanks!

Here is another quick update on Dantez. His boots! The raised parts are supposed to be a different type of leather which I hope to make a little more apparent during the texturing phase of the project. Also the lines going up the inside part of the boots is for a zipper which I'll model a little more of as I add shoestrings and the other little details.
