And I don't like black inklines, but even *that* looks great with this visual style. So maybe I don't like what they did, but dammit, they sure did it with style. EDIT: By concid...

Of the suggestions so far, I like slowtiger's option of using 3d software the best. Everybody says Sketchup is easy, but using it is a bit quirky and it's not for everyone.

Last year, Rhoel and jahnocli were chatting privately with me about my script, and they were both taken aback by the script calling for a character to act "touched." What they knew, and I didn't, was that it is very difficult to animate "touched." What I didn't know, and they did...
