its still there! Help! Arghh...

I cannot get this line to go away in the middle of the face. I followed the video tutorial on mtmckinleys site, to no avail. I still have that line stuck in the face! Mtmckinley thats awesome of you to do tutorials and put them on the site btw. So anyway...also when i duplicated and cleaned up one side of the face...(the left side is the dupe) it got more wrinkled. I dont know why that happened either. So i have uploaded the maya files if you guys wanna take a look, im probably missing something really stupid but ive tried everything i cant think of. I kinda like how the left side looks though. But anyway please help me figure out what the **** is going on.

here is a test image i rendered..as you can see the line is way obvious.

I also gave it a shot and pretty much did exactly as I do in my Mirroring vid. Not sure why you didn't have much luck.

The circled bits are possible bits you might want to work with, as having your geometry come to a tight "point" like these gives some pretty noticeable ridges... 'Course, you might want it like that. Just thought I'd point it out. user added image

Good luck!
