thanks ya'll u r an inspiration! i know i might be stepping it up instead of 1 notch, something like 1029498712394 notches by doing this, but i am modeling a human head with NURBS. I found this pretty cool tutorial to do this. Oh, by the way, have any of ya'll heard of that Blast Code? That thing i awesome!!!! i dont have a great comp, so it runs kinda- lemme rephrase that - VERY laggy, but it is sweet with playblast. One more question that I would like help with. My playblast is messing up. It is stopping around the 10th frame. It really sux cuz if I have a really loaded scene, i need playblast to even view my animations. Any suggestions? :? Thanks anyways!
