 Congratulatons. A really good move, taking the time now, to construct the topology in line with decent facial expression.
 Not like me, wishing i'd done the same, a long time ago.
 One of my characters especially, i just hate using the 'O' phoneme, coz it looks so bad. Doesn't matter how much i try to improve the morph, there just isn't the right points in the right places, to get it looking decent.
 You're inspiring me to start another character.
 Good stuff,  ttsnim, looking good.

Thank you! ^_^ My biggest joy is giving characters good expressions.

One of the things I bought many years ago, and has helped me tremendously, is Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right. There are a few newer versions of the book and I want them all. I highly recommend one of the copies if you don't already have one.

Never the less, I'm still a baby in all this 3D stuff. I love the Tutorials you have posted and keep them in mind when I work on things.

Steve:
Looking good, ttsnim. And thanks for the pointer to the book.

johnar:
 Yes, thanks ttsnim

 I found 2 copies on ebay, and bought one

edit: $12nzd. for a second hand copy in good condition. Cheap!
 They did have another one which was an updated version, about $19usd.

Hi ttsnim,
Good work on your model. I think you will find that many articles and tutorials on modelling and animating which were created for a different 3D software are easily adapted to Anim8or. A good example of that is the many instructions on scene lighting. You can find some excellent 'general 3D' forums with a variety of tutorial subjects online.
Best regards,
Bob G.
