What about the rest?  The leafs?  Do they look geometric or round?  They 
are actually cube cages with subsurface division modifier on.

Fact is that for some reason I strived for a pipe reminiscent of Super 
Mario 64, even though the piranha flower itself is far more detailed 
than in that game... I actually lowered the number of edges in the 
default Blender cylinder.

And that's the important thing. :-)

When we purchase things, we try very hard to purchase things that will 
last.  With the Intuos4 tablet, the one thing that I've read about is 
that the nibs wear down faster than with the Intuos3 and the Bamboo 
tablets.  I don't know that I'll notice it as much as a professional 
graphic artist, but we'll see.

I have found that that is often a bad strategy, actually. :-)

Those would be awesome for tabletop RPG sessions, you must admit.  No 
having to hunt down/lug around 500 lbs of books, just load it up on the 
tabletop and slide it around to whoever needs it, and for displaying 
maps and diagrams, being able to zoom in and out and pan around and and 
and...

So far, it's worked well for us.  Now that we can afford to do so, that 
is - we didn't always do that, but having good tools has really helped us.
