the real thing

The lionfish mesh of MA 2.6 fame gets its colored barbs not from the mesh but from an alpha map of the fin mesh textures. Hence they don't seem to benefit from anti-aliasing effects. I wonder if you have thought to increase the poly count and actualy produce real barbs?

Reasons people don't watch Star Trek:
60% - It’s for nerds.
39% - The show’s stupid.
01% - My parents were killed by Klingons and it's still too painful.
