SceneCaster's Most Versatile Object?

It has appeared in almost 1500 scenes and counting – It gets used a lot for its intended purpose, don’t get me wrong. But it seems to be building a reputation as the foundation of many a great scene where you wouldn’t even recognize it.

Any guesses?

Let’s just say I find it very a-MOOO-sing that so many of you have re-adapted the humble Cow Hide Rug to represent any number of amorphous, blob-like shapes. In the images above it has been called into action as a desert island, beach (twice), ocean and the infamous bloodstain under poor Jonathan.

Which brings me to my point: you do know that you can ASK for things, don’t you? Don’t leave this up to me; if I had my way we’d just keep adding to the interior design categories. Plus, look at how long it took me to figure out that you needed some oddly-shaped thingies to make your crazy scenes out of (they’re in the works, by the way). I’ve never been one to pick up on the subtler things.

So…what do you want? Flying saucers? Cheese and crackers? Miniature Army Men? A legion of monkey butlers in tuxedos (or is that just me?) Put a post on the Designer’s Den wall. I promise everything gets read and we really like keeping the modelers busy.
