                  Thankyou gentlemen, I suspect though that many people find them boring.

                            Using a .png image as a texture is a handy way of faking detailed geometry.

                                  One of the many useful tools that people often miss amongst all of Fredo's wonders is the Convert to Arc/Circle (part of Curvisard) that puts arcs and circles back together so the Cardinal points function.
                                  Follow me explodes Arcs and Circles and if you weld them they become Curves, which don't have the special feature that is Cardinals.

                                        Here's a pretty simple twilight render of a basic scene animation. Two components, 17 scenes, odd number because it loops.
