Thanks, Al. One of the main reasons I've gotten stuck into Blender so much more this go around is because of the ease of use feature. I'll admit: I am leveraging my knowledge of hotkeys for modelling some of this stuff, but there is so much more available in terms of help and examples so that these sorts of renders are really quite doable. It's that step at a time thing.

And what you can get out of this is quite mindboggling.
