thanks, Element_Khaos. I looked at this tutorial https://www.secondreality.ch/tutorial...ling/head.html
for the basics. They have an ear tutorial too, so I guess it's time for me to make this guy an ear. When I've layed out the UV-maps and textured it it sure would be nice to add some hair... just have to learn how to attach fur to a polymodel.

Ok, can someone help me out here... I've attached an ear to the head, I've used vertex snap and combined all the vertices, I've used Smooth Normals (all soft) and when I do a Smooth I got a sharp border between the ear and the head, I don't really understand why? There are no loose vertices.

The ears are now attached. I'm pretty satisfied with the model now so I am gonna start trying to texturing him now.

Thanks DrRobotik and blomkaal! This is my attempt at UV-mapping. I know it's not perfect, but I think it'll work... I'm a total n00b at UV-mapping so I think it went ok anyways. So lets start photshop and do some painting user added image

But first I'm off to bed. zzZZzz....

Have been doing some Photoshopping, and added a basic texture. Barely any bumpmaps yet. Also I was thinking of giving him long hair, any suggestions what method I should use? Fur, hair or paintFX?

Added some bumpmapping and changed the color slightly... I'll think I'm gonna leave the textures as they are for now and do some hair.

AFAIK, Fur is no good for long hair, and I don't know about PFx, but Maya 6 has a new feature, Hair, which is for, hold on now...: HAIR! user added image

Haven't really tried it out yet, but I've seen a few videos at alias.com and it looks pretty neet, although (not sure about this one) I think that all it does is create the hair as PFx... But as I said, not sure about that...
