Ok,

I've got updates too guys user added image

Hope I can get this done by midnight!

Here's a sail/pack thingy... I did this using maya's shaders and q couple shaders downloaded from highend3d.com

The sail looks a little washed out, wondering why that is... It's a lambert shade.. lit with GI_Joe. You think it's the lighting? Lambert has no specular slider right?

Also, what do you think of the sphere thingy? you like the color?
Think it should be more glowing?

Thanks for the input.

Holy shiaat! I love it! Its looking wonderful! The sphere is one thing that makes it look awesome I say keep it! Maybe put a torus around it though, as its kinda just... there.. Or do something around it like extrude inwards to make it look like its a bit into the mechanism user added image

.. keep it up!.
