Yeah I agree that a couple different kind of teeth would make sense and I will have to look at some reference material and go back and fix that.

For now it looks okay with just varying sizes of the same basic tooth.

They did need some randomization though as they looked unnatural when they were all perfectly aligned. I started with +/- 10 degree variation (which was to extreme) and worked down to 6 degrees. Up close 6 is probably still to much but looks better than all perfectly spaced teeth.

Anyway it was just part of the tutorial method that I thought was interesting as I had never used "modify > snap align objects > position along curve" before. I usually use some form of animation snap shot.

Plus it was fun to tinker with mel. (smile).
