Nice :) I'm not entirely sure trueSpace is the perfect tool for creating
Enigma graphics, but maybe that's because I'm most comfortable with
pixel-based graphics programs ;)

I replied to Randy's email but haven't heard from him since then.  Maybe
he isn't so keen on helping with the graphics after all...

Just use whatever names you consider appropriate.  If you want to
replace an image, just stick to its old name, even if that makes
"fl-bluegreen" +not* look blue-green any more.  We can always rename
fl-bluegreen to fl-dirt later.

Btw, thanks for volunteering :-)

PS: I can only include the graphics in Enigma's main release if they may
be distributed and modified under the same terms as Enigma itself.  I
don't know whether you are familiar with Enigma's license, the GPL; if
you are not, feel free to ask!
