DeviantDreamworks: Hey, great work dude! Might as well try some more modelling, try to add some more mechanized details, for example, there´s tons of stuff you could make out of the generator ... or the antenae. Remember also to bevel you´re entry model, since yours actually has a lot of hard edges who need some caring to do. user added image Beautifull model, just remember to keep on it!

Vizion: Excellent piece of modelling! Perhaps a bit more details? try to put in some more stuff like the back legs termination points. (I really like that bit) Remember, we´re after a mechanized look so try to apply it even more effectively on your model piece. Excellent work! Keep on it!

Here's a start on the scene, it's a sci-fi airport, built specificly for hovering aircraft only, as you can see there is a path leading off the way, still working on that. But there is also an underground hanger capable of store smaller ships, like my wasp. I am also going for a metal "shiny" look on my wasp. I will try to go in to detail on the underground hanger, user added image. I have only 1 question, how do I go about makeing 3 lights that flash red on the coners, light a real air port? And one more question how do i make the hanger underground just do a new scene or put it in a cube under the groudn/grass?

Thanks in advance,

++Update++ Added some lights and added windows to the tower.

Ok honestly Undseth I think that you could produce something a bit more in keeping with your model. I don't believe that your landscape is going to do your model (Which I love!) justice. I dont mean to be a wet blanket but it's just my humble opinion afterall.

I am trying to make an evocative scenario for my mech. I am making the scene shown below and the mech is gonna crawl out of the air vent on the left (possible loads and loads of them! Am I allowed to use Houdini to do that part? user added image)

Roman+adldesigner:
Oh...
*smiles*
It's ok!

Pure_Morning:
You put your finger on someting important there.
One of my two mechs are going to do some tree climbing.
Maybe some other infrastructure would give it some "weight".
