Um, if you like. I meant nothing by it. :)

Thank you!

I think that unless you move into big name modelers you don't get the power
you need. And even then there is a lot of stuff that you wish you could do,
but that the modeler you're using can't manage (or at least not in a
straightforward manner). This is why studios have to jump around between
several packages to get the job done. :P

> Realistic lighting you used, too.

I used a simple planar on a sphere, and two lights, nothing fancy... I think
it's the texture more than the lighting that brings out that realistic
touch.

That's where the artifacts I removed were. I used 'smart-blur' to make them
into what you see. Before, they were just ugly bands of light and dark.
