NURBS circles, lofts, and the Human Body
1. My lofted surfaces are hollow inside....is this going to be a problem when animating later (with cracks showing and whatnot?) Is it better to build the figure's parts as solid pieces, like with modified cylinders.
2. Is there anything I need to be aware of when creating pieces to fit to the torso (when it comes time to stitch the arms, hands, legs, feet, and head?) I'm basically using the same circle settings for everything except for the direction I'm lofting in - i.e., I loft several scaled circles in the y for the torso. Then I do the same thing in the x for an arm. Does each isoparm number need to align exactly when stitching for it to animate properly?
Hope this makes sense. Any tips y'all can throw my way would be appreciated.

Take a look at the Arm Stitching tutorial we've got in the VIP section. It might point you in the right direction.
As for me personally, I created the models used in the above tutorial from a nurbs sphere for the torso and a nurbs cylinder for the arm.
Good luck!

actually...
*digs through archives...*
Yeah, I still got all those guys. Here's one of the benefits of saving in stages.
You can do a semi-step-by-step. It doesn't really show how I got to the first torso from a sphere, but it's mostly just a matter of shaping the hulls and tweaking CVs.Hope it helps!

Excellent detail on that torso, Mike.
