HI Steve- Not to take anything away from Robert's excellent video, it seems like you have way more splines than you need. I just took a quick look at it and marked some splines I think you can safely delete. there may be other options and my choices may not suit everyone, but I'd recommend at the least to do a "save as" with your model and start deleting, just to see how light you can get the mesh while keeping the forms. the thing to keep in mind is you just need a spline where the direction, or contour, of the surface changes.

Those were "legal" five-pointers but hooks were made to be a better solution.

I agree very very much! Yes, much thinning can be done and it will make rigging easier later on.

 

Usually you can do an eye opening with just 8 CPs. That's my typical budget for eye openings.
