For this task, I think the blob on voxel side would be okay, but off
course, the materials would be a nice feature.
I have some screendumps of the model(s) I can send, if someone is
interested.
It isn't very sensitive, but putting them on a public mailinglist is
probadly a no go.

Sincerely
Michael
