ok, since i last posted i re-drew each of the polygons on my face, pulled allthe vertices out, then applyed the turbo smooth mentioned in tutorial 5 to see how it looked, noticed a couple of flaws so i played around with the vertices some more and got it looking better.
*Note to others, i found the eyes quite tricky so make sure you take some time to make sure your placing the vertices in the right places, and hopefully it wont be as tricky as mine was.
*When your playing with the vertices i personally found it easier to work with the back ground solid so you could see all the shadows.
*Finally, sounds dumb to say but i paid today for not doing so, SAVE REGULARLY.
So once i had done this, was happy with what id done, i watched the nose construction tutorial, i want to say, be careful when you contruct the nose because he leave the nostrils and the sides of the nise with no polygons until this part. i had actually filled mine in but left the nostrils empty and had to do alot of playing about with the vertices afterwards to make this possible.
SO, id played withhe vertices and max crashed, not good, i hadnt saved and it had taken me a while to figure them out.
so i started them again, played with the vertices actually got round to constructin the nose, which i found difficult cos i got a wierd shaped nose ive decided. HaHa, oh well.
i was just about the start modelling the nose canals and max crashed again, guess what? i hadnt learnt from before and hadnt saved, by this time, about 45 mins ago, i was utterly frustrated and near to ripping my hair out, so left it.

By default, Max should make backups every 5 minutes. Find them in:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3dsMax8\Autoback
Probably called "Autobak1.max"
I'm finding the nose to be one of the hardest bits. The eyes are and lips are ok at this stage, but putting detail on them at the moment I'm finding difficult. I don't think you have a weird shaped nose!
You're right, save like mad!
Thank you for the advice! Sounds like you had a tough time trying to finish the modelling of your face. Your face looks good though, so obviously all the hard work paid off!
