im torn dave. im disheartened you dont like the image, im pretty pleased with it, and more so because i know theres more i can do to improve it. i agree that it is a shame some detail/form has got lost in translation. i struggle to see that wip shot ending in a better image than what i have in maya though, if i worked it up in z. perhaps im not looking hard enough. i shall sleep on it.
