There's the thread.
I don't remember how I did the head, but I do remember that I built the buody as seperate muscle shaped Ngons, and then connected them.

I've noticed that when rendering with art, if there's a face cutting through and behind another, I can still see it. The "texture" dissapears, but the mesh can still be seen through a face if it's "impaling" it. I'm a complete noob, and R retarted at this subject, but an educated guess would tell me that rays aren't recieved from back faces, but they do from the front, no matter what it's behind.......?
Has anyone else notice this?

......lol.
Can anyone understand this? looking back, my wording is fugly.

Head's gotta be bigger, man.
I have been working on one too, but I want to ask you if it's okay to post it.
I'd hate to hijak a topic.

I was gonna make a chicken/ED209/MGS4 kinda thing.....
Hey, G3, did you still have wires? an unrendered screen?
also, how did you go abou texturing it? Did you import it into a UVing program, or did you do it manually?

I think the env is perfect. The ball is absolutely colorless If he turned it down, it would go from chrome, to  plasticy gray. Not good.

I'd like displacement maps on subdivisions.
So you'd only need a cylinder with a few sections in it and a displacement map will give it preper  definition (like an arm), so it willl still deform as if it were a low-detail cylinder. That would be extremely useful.

I didn't mean to be rude at all, I'm just wondering what the logic is behind his though. It just doesn't make sense.
