Way to go RW! :-)) Just a thought for your 1st image (the cat). If you still have a copy of the pz3 around, why not try an experiment: Leave everything in the scene alone except for turning the cat's head to look directly at the viewer (ie, directly "out" of the scene? (or possibly, turn the head so it's nearly turned towards the viewer, but change the eyes so they ARE looking at the viewer... The eyes in a figure (any figure) are one of the 1st things a viewer looks at (it's human nature: "Is that character looking at me? And if not, what is so interesting where it's looking?"). So eyes capture attention... Cheers, Diolma
