Cheers gster, I nipped in the waist a touch and adjusted the UV map accordingly, I think you're right about differentiating between the male and female cube people, thanks. My new computer is probably a little overkill for what I need at the moment but it should definately see me through university and a little further hopefully. It has an Asus main board with a Quadro FX 540 graphics card, 2Gb RAM, an Opteron 165 processor and a 250Gb hard drive. Initaially I got a very good price from a shop to build it for me but after looking around I found I could buy the same parts and build it myself for substantially less. Thoughts would be good, cheers, Mat.
