Just a sidenote: Mr. Smith, your tutorials are the most charming ones regarding softimage I saw in the last 15 years. It's just my professional opinion. :) Its pure joy to listen to them. I really like the kind of understatement that is always present in your videos. And of course the information. The videos about "procedural UVing" or something (with particles?) were great. I just wanted to say this in the mailing list rather than post a comment a a video platform Thank you for the effort, Sir!

See what you think of this technique https://vimeo.com/67402407 I find the results are far more natural looking and easier to manage and edit. I doubt I'll ever use that shapes-before-bones method again for correctives on limbs.
