Speaking of nutrition, I've heard it said there is always room for jello... and a Helm edit.

No, this is great. I can still go back over what I've blocked out in animation and work on some finish.
Actually, I have been hoping for just this kind of crit, having discerned that my surfaces were stinky smooth and uninteresting.
I'm trying to understand how to fix that, its challenging, but important.
Often times surface rendering and texturing seems more like some elusive method of dithering to me.
Anyway, thanks Helm! I definitely feel you on the values too.
