:P

I don't usually bother to colour my wire-frames, so all it would be is the same as that, but blue

I'd rather like a feature that used to be in Imagine (way back in the day!) 'quick edges' which are user selected edges, which display instead of a wireframe image.. Bounding boxes are pretty useless, unless you have cubic objects, but high resolution wireframes or 3d shaded views kill my PC

So a quick and dirty representation would be very handy for me

my folder is nearly 4 gig LOL

Glad those helped. Really, what density you set your bevels for depends on a number of factors: What scale it's supposed to be seen at (in reality most shows wouldn't do meshes like this, they'd just make a more detailed bit for closeups!) If you make them fine, then they may as well not be there, unless you round them.. if you just do 1 face bevels they need to be a little larger to show up

I use whatever tool takes my fancy at the time.. sometimes I have a preset in vertibevel all ready to go, and I don't want to draw all over it, so I just use multishift instead hehe. It's like the edge tools, I love them, but I got so used to not having them before they were introduced, I am comfortable working in any mode!

Just glad to be of use, hopefully you will find inspiration from my work, as I in turn am inspired by the quality of work on this forum!

Well not had much time to model, but I have managed to get a new occlusion node which looks much better and is a lot faster than the basic LW one! WOO.

Looking pretty dirty!

Looks great bud, when are you going to start work on the next part of the station. I want to see more of her!!

Soon, I need to try and finish one bit at a time as going back to old models is hard work hehe

Thanks for your nice words.. It was just a quick test, but it turned out so nice i just had to post it
