Hi Szabolcs, thank you very much for your answer, your perfectly right
regarding the LR character, I now think that as you suggested I would be a
lot better just mass-ing out the major proportions of the character with a
rough polygon approximation. Like you say that will give me the gross shapes
/ dimensions whilst animating, but still keep my poly counts down for
real-time updates / playback.
thanks again for taking the time to reply, its much appreciated.
