wow thats amazing. About the wireframe. THe lines don't have to connect? Looks like you grouped and over lapped the shapes for details? And here I am being a sucker loading even the simplest shapes with buncha unncessary lines. haha

Seriously though, did you group the shapes together??

its must have taken a while to get the uvs laid out clean. i wonder how complex the UV maps must have been, can ya post a screenshot?

Excellent work. What shader do you use to show off just the models?

Or do you use GI Joe?

Basically, you connect the outValue of the Dirtmap or mib_amb_occlusion node to any channel of the material (i.e., connect the outValue of the Dirtmap/ Node to the Ambient Channel of a Blinn Shader), then render in MR.

Here's a tutorial that might help you out:
