Nice job mkonig,

But it still lacks a little something, I think another interpretation of "movement" will help here. How about "dimensionality"? Lurking about the site for the last few weeks I've seen that beginners (like myself) tend to forget that they can and must work in 3 dimensions. Leave the trunk visible, but don't splay all the side branches out directly to either side, move some benind and above as well. That will give it a more believable feel.

There's my 2 cents, I don't quite feel priveledged enough (nor do I have adequite software) yet to make a virtual, but I hope I made a little sense and helped out.

Thanks and goodluck ewok!
