I think you are taking a very big leap here, especially in light of all the previous posts you have made,

You will need to learn how to "Edgeloop" for a start and there are several ways to do that but first you will need a reference image of yourself front and side view as a guide then take a look at the edgelooping video I made here ,

Come back in a couple of years and let us know how you got on ;)

In each of the view windows, back, front, left side, and right side, click on Build  > Reference image and load the image for that particular view :)

Tried to play the Edge Loop video, and had some problems with it...

In Nero it is upside down....
In WMP it produces trailed images like multiple pointers on the screen.
In WM Classic you cannot skip forwards.

So.. what Codec do I need?
