Well if it's about modeling a velociraptor, sure I will go for a sub-d package ... but if I want to create a bio-mechanical one, I would prefer to stay in MoI.

As I said in the other thread, it's sometimes hard to choose between nurbs of polys, where models require organic freedom but also industrial feeling/details.
I remember a thread about creating a female robot head, this is exaclty the kind of mix I will love to do :)

But I understand that for the moment it's far to be a priority.
