Mayans,
I have a few questions when it comes to my first full head, (I call it a grape). I would appreciate any input or suggestions.

1. As you can see I am violating the quads theory, I have seen numerous wires where the topology was perfect. I am not that good. However I do see that there are areas in "nice" models that they end up having this sort of pole. Is there a proper way to deal with these issues. As you will see in the second picture, it creates a funky wire when I polySmooth.
2. I have also seen many models that they accomplish the same shape (i.e. Nose) with a very small amount of polys. I cannot figure out the technique to accomplish shape with out killing the splitPoly button. Any suggestions?

3. After the smoothPoly you can see the "issues" that arose from my mesh. :(
4. Is there a way to constrain the amount of "shrinkage" when using polySmooth? When I smooth my mesh it moves way far away from where my polys were.
Any help on these items would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I am using Maya 6.5.1 on a dual PowerMac 1.8
