I used to do minifig heads using quad2dat, but not in the standard way, since
the minifig head template in quad2dat would stretch out the pattern in wierd
ways. Instead, I would use the template for a flat part like the minifig torso,
and then use a perl script to project the resulting quads to the proper 3d
shape. Overall, it was not real convenient, but not too hard to do, either.
I can mail you the script if you'd like.
