I take it this is the offending element? If anything, it seems all it needs is the outer ring you see on the model leg (the ring above is flat and smooth, whereas below the inner ring is inset). Also, going by the picture below, shouldn't there be another inner leg joint on the lower left in the pic above (of course, it would cover up Luke's lightsaber arm and the door, which is maybe why the shot is so off - there's a missing leg!)?
Er...didn't I say most of that (twice!) on the previous page? ;)
Adywan had originally stated a good while back that he couldn't do much with this, and hadn't really intended to. The thing is, adding a 'raised ring' would be a very difficult thing to do, throughout the 'movement' of that 'prop's shots.... However, it seems that he is now going to do something here....which is great, as anything he does will be an improvement, I'm sure.
That was a nice bit of thinking there Sevb32, by the way. I hadn't thought about the 'zoom-in' thing, but can't wait to see what Ady may achieve.
