    @zangief Yep, only one hole at the neck is allowed.
    Click the Holes button on the Face tab on the Diagnostics panel (on stage 1). In the ppg that shows up, select one of the holes in this list – its edge is highlighted in red on the head model.
    In softimage, you can select the edges and add polygons to fill the hole (press N or use the Add/Edit Polygon? Tool.
    Or bring it back into your modelling software and fix it there, then reimport the head into FR.

    you’re right – AceMastermind1 (a.k.a. Manny) did? a great job on converting those old videos to YouTube. some of the workflows (like the old particle system) don’t apply anymore, but there is still a good deal of information there that’s helpful.

    @xtro7
    yes, sadly softimage doesn’t have a huge user base, so? there aren’t as many tutorials for it.
    we’ll keep posting here, but you might also want to check out vimeo for more free videos about softimage, especially ICE.
