The Peacock looks VERY good. Both head and chest areas are giving the effect well. The tail may be too flat a surface to reflect the light as you want. This is a problem in many 3D programs.....curved surfaces respond well to reflection mapping, but flat surfaces need more "fakery" to do it. I like the "dottyness" you refer to. I think it helps carry out the overall effect. It might get subduded somewhat if the bitmap was a higher resolution..but then again, you also might lose the entire effect. This is peachy, keen, cool, Blood!
