Very cool, I like it, not what I thought of myself, but it's your design hehe

The only crit I can give is those support poles don't look terribly thick, as they have quite a bit of weight to support! Otherwise coming along excellently!

**JeffrySG** · 06-21-2007, 09:07 PM

thanks tobian... and yes you are right about those support areas being thin. As I look at it now, I'm not sure if I really like my solution. I like the idea but I think it seemed different in my mind. I might go back in tonight (and this weekend) and try to come up with a different solution to move the monitor.

I'm starting to get ready to texture this model... if you know of any good tutorials that cover the new nodes I'd love to see them. I'm trying to do this using only procedurals, and the AO node, but if I have to use UV maps I will I guess... thx!!

**tobian** · 06-21-2007, 11:33 PM

Sorry not off the top of my head no. I can only offer to help where I can, as I'm pretty NOOB when it comes to nodes!

I have had success with the new and cool Pom occlusion node - db&w - finest plugins it's very pretty, works faster and is better than the native one and works with fprime

**JeffrySG** · 06-21-2007, 11:52 PM

^ok, thx anyway tobian! Yeah, I'm pretty limited to plugins right now as I'm using the 9.2UB MacIntel so most of them won't run on my version of LW just yet...

But the Abm Occ node renders pretty fast on the UB version...

**tobian** · 06-22-2007, 12:00 AM

Yeah that's gonna get complicated soon - 4 versions of everything! EEK

Still the scrips should be cross compatible, such as the new version of greebles and nurnies LW Greeble & Nurnies Lscript - Beta version

**Jedilaw** · 06-22-2007, 12:21 AM

Now, now, greeble scripts are cheating.

Hand made, man! Hand made!

**JeffrySG** · 06-22-2007, 01:05 AM

^WOW!! with that script you could finish off an ISD in like a few days or so!!!
hahahahaha....

but yeah, the scripts do work just fine... but you're right... 4 versions is crazy... although I imaging the we won't need the PPC version much longer as the UB version will take over for the mac...

**JeffrySG** · 06-22-2007, 01:08 AM

Well, I had to go back a redo that monitor support as it was bothering me... this is the new design I came up with for the support...

Ozylot · 06-22-2007, 02:14 AM

Thats looking fabulous bro!

**JeffrySG** · 06-22-2007, 05:27 AM

Thx Ozylot!

Just another test render... I put in all the smoothing settings now just to see how it would look...
