Two things, One, it is rather odd to want to keep a computer "up for months without rebooting" as it is just burning energy while you're not using it and all...

... OK, I got it to be an extruded 3D shape, but I don't understand what you mean by "tilt them up to put the texture on them as you are looking at the face....
