Here are a few suggestions: - You have some nice shapes in there, but they're not reading well enough right now.* You could…
Are you painting a subtraction instead of painting addition? Geodesic voxel is just the method to calculate the initial bind so you are still weighting a smooth bind.

I went to the Art Institute of Atlanta and it was a pretty epic experience considering it was a big achievement in my life.
