THere is Wings to learn, which has some sense of containment 
actually,...like Silo but unlike Maya.  Then there is MODELING to learn, 
which feels like infinity.

Thanks for saying so.  Writing tutorials (or most course materials for 
that matter) always has this "it's obvious and after the fact" sense to 
it.  You kind of do it on blind faith that it might be useful to 
somebody else, somehow.

Shoes, of course, are a well known sexual fetish, and are one for me. I 
believe they act as a fetish because they are objects, and carry a 
bodily reference together with a gender symbolism. But one of the 
reasons I loved painting them, aside from the sexual component, was that 
they combined organic form with characteristics of an object.  This 
combination is also closely paralleled in CG imagery,...just a thought.
