    Phoenix, you are truly a god of 3D modeling. Or at least a demi-god. Wink This is amazing stuff! Since I'm trying to self-teach Sketchup, this helps me wrap my brain around concepts.

    It's amazing how much things change, and how much they stay the same. I't been over 10 years since I used to do 3d modelling professionally (Granted we did everything in Lightwave, and that was mainly due to the programming aspect), but it's still neat to see!

    Great post Big Grin

    Thank you for writing that Phoenix. The amount of work that you've put into something like that is amazing and the results are even moreso. It's incredible, wonderful and does make me miss Armada 2 as well Wink
