Thanks for those. I recently animated my first head and it's not so bad once you get the hang of it. And I'm a total idiot with Max so if I can do it anyone can. Xaphod's guide is more in dept than Rhedd's so it's nice.

The only think I am having trouble with is where to grab to get the darned eyelids to pull down, there must be a trick to it. But I guess that's not really something someone can tell you how to do, kind of like if someone asks how to texture, well you just sort of do it.

That was the trouble with my head the left eye was a bit high so the wrong part was blinking. I loaded it on an npc to make sure the mouth moved properly after seeing that, i didn't want it opening somewhere between my nose and lips.

Did you make the mesh yourself or just the texture? Was the eye blinking wrong because you animated it or because the positioning was off in the texture?
