Hey Mr. B! The problem is the way you designed the Zsphere object. Your setup is designed more for Unified Meshes than Adaptive Meshes. You can "fix" this by taking your model and skinning it again with a Unified Mesh...set resolution to around 128 or more and set smoothing to 1. Of course this will defeat the purpose for the excersise you have undertaken. You may want to reconsider redesigning the zsphere model. There is one other thing you can do to fix it but you have to do it before you start detailing. While in EDIT mode hit the W key to go into EDIT>MOVE mode. Turn on polyframes. When you rotate the object around you should see a colored wireframe of it. You should then be able to see the points that are burried in the mesh. Keep an eye on them then when you stop rotating move the mouse over those points and move them out so the do not overlap or are no longer buried. It takes some practice but it is something that can be accomplished. Can you post a picture of the unskinned zspheres?? :tu:

like mentat said , but isnt it possible to get a cleaner model by skinning the adaptive skin again , but with unified ?
(instead of skinning it with unified directly)
