Hi Matt, I can certainly take a crack at fixing it up - if you don't want to post the model here you can also e-mail it to me directly at moi@moi3d.com and I will keep it private.

It is actually helpful for me from a testing perspective to spend some time working on other people's models. Don't worry about my time, if it takes too long I'll bail out.

Anyway, the model is looking better and better - it is cool to see the progress!

The rendering looks good but I think the lighting is a bit harsh - if you can get a bit more distributed and indirect illumination it would make it look even more realistic. Possibly use several lights coming from different angles, with each one turned down a bit in intensity.

:) I don't really plan to be a public-traded company, just a small regular privately owned company. But thanks for the vote of confidence!
