Thanks for the comments guys.. @dur23, Yeah, the renders are pretty shit. I'm working on making them look nicer, and doing a high rez beauty shot. I found this tutorial here: http://www.artemstudios.com/08Portfolio/Tutorial/MaterialRenderingTut.htm but it's for max. I wish I knew how to get a similar effect in maya.…

Agreed. The thing about modo is it's roadmapped to become a full suite, and it's totally non-legacy. Right now the interface offers a best case approach to modeling, 3D painting, unwrapping... I can't wait to see their take on animation tools. http://www.luxology.com/press/release/080305_Lux_Roadmap.aspx
Yes! That axe kill was fucking awesome. The guy he decap'd was around the beginning of season 2. Searching for a vid, I came across this gem: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08uJanZEeMo[/ame] He's had some awesome kills (love the flaregun to the chest! :D ). Oh man, and who could forget his vampire kill?
