That looks great, Brad. I need to get back into this kind of stuff, but all I have is Blender/The Gimp at home, and Maya (on a crap SGI)/Photoshop (on a crap Mac) at work. Since I'm only proficient in Photoshop and 3ds MAX, I've got a ways to go...
...I could get VMWare, install an old DOS with Windows 3.11 (maybe) and install my ancient copy of 3d Studio R2...
...But I don't have the parallel port dongle anymore...
