Nah, that's one of the things we're here for. I know how it is when you're doing an animation and you stare at it time after time. After a while it's hard to separate yourself from it and see it with fresh eyes.

I wouldn't bother with fiddling with the cup. Like I said, the fade does work and I think you're right about the cutting off. I think once the timing is tweaked everything will fall into place. And yeah, I think the work you put into the drops was worth it.

Glad to hear about your computer. Good luck with the build and enjoy your vacation.
