So, after dealing with some frustrating (and confusing) setbacks on this one, it's finally ready for final render! In addition to finding a solution to the coins, I also fixed some issues with Kish's fur, and used a cloth simulation to make his long hair move more realistically (this was in response to feedback I got after Dragon Rider).
This will most likely be the last post I make on this project before its official release. So, enjoy! ;)
