Howdy !

already well i don't post work very often, and i'd like some criticism and tips on this, if anyone has some time : )

the bust is modeled using Epoly and Nurms in Max 5.1 (following Ambient Whisper's tuts), it's on it's way to be quite finished (lacks some ears though) and ready for unwrap.
But as you can see in the wires i still have couple tris i'm trying to get rid of..

Yep ! thanks a lot for replies guys !

As for the tris, well it's not like a big problem, it does not really show up in subdivided mesh, it's just that i've always thought tris and poles were to be avoided if possible, also these particular tris i just can't get rid of, i've tried but somehow always end up with a new tri created somewhere else; i'd just like some advice as to how could i get rid of them : )

here's a little update, working on shaping the mesh a little more, and i'm now off to unwrapping.
