heres a shot with the procedural texture i made, and pony has been rendering them all, and sending them through the mail, hes taking a nap now, and only had 5 hours sleep last night!

Basically the deadline is tomorrow (its 9pm here) before i goto work at 4pm, so probably tomorrow night i could go in and post some images of the final and get you guys a link to the "preview" for the movie if he makes one this time. He did last time.
