I have tried for ages but all i get is what looks like another nose on the side of models head. Post by splinters // Nov 18, 2007, 10:05am splinters Total Posts: 4148 If you are using poly modelling, make the ear separately and ideally model half a head. Then (without the two objects touching) boolean union the head and ear together then draw edges in manually to complete the mesh. Turn mirror modelling on to make things easier. If you actually want to know how to model the ear then there may be some tutorials around but I generally make more cartoon like ears i.e. not much detail so I can't really help...:o Post by Steinie // Nov 18, 2007, 11:29am Steinie Total Posts: 3667 Tutorial is not for TS but should be a big help: http://www.3dtutorials.sk/index.php?id=311&page= Post by RichLevy // Nov 18, 2007, 11:33am RichLevy Total Posts: 1140 An often time over looked resource is YouTube, I like going over there and see what people are making for my favorite software packages. This particular tutorial is not the best example I have seen, but it is using tools that are in TS so it may be a good place for you to start. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6b-M03Yd0k&feature=related Good Luck Rich Mr Steinie (the other guy from Jersy :D) posted a pretty good one... Post by Jack Edwards // Nov 18, 2007, 6:12pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Another approach is to place a straight on photo of an ear and put it on a plane then model the ear using the image as a guide. Simplest way to this approach would be to start as a plane, use the polydraw tool to mark out the outline of the ear, then delete the rest of the plane leaving only the flat ear shape. You can then use the polydraw tool to iteratively add the interior geometry. Drag the verts around to create the depth. Hope that helps! :) Post by jayr // Nov 22, 2007, 1:03am jayr Total Posts: 1074 Try nowherebrains tutorials (http://www.scatteredpixel.com/files/Page1.html) There's one that covers the whole head and shows how to do an ear really well, though youmay need to watch it a few times. They're very cheap too, about $5 Post by me2 // Dec 3, 2007, 11:05pm me2 Total Posts: 0 Hi All Thanks for all responses but still having a bit of trouble. First of all when i place an image on a plane then use polydraw well after the third point all the image gets distorted so i couldnt use that. Had a look on youtube and through a lot of practice decide to have a go at it and it turned out sort of ok. Thanks again for the replies.

This way you can use it to trace the shape on a second plane and the texture won't distort. Here are a couple of discussions about doing this: One (http://forums.caligari.com/discus/messages/1585/9582.html?) Two (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=1474)
