thanks Matt. Im gonna get around to doing the animation soon... thats what counts right. I was just going to use blendshapes for the head only.

Im gonna do a death sequence... I have a couple of premade low poly models already... just might change the head or something.

Im in... not sure what Ill come up with yet:confused:
