looking very nice with some nice clean meshes arran user added image

are you going to do a whole host of objects and then maybe do some texturing and go for a realistic scene? It'd be a good challenge for you user added image

hey - thanks a lot everyone.

yeah - i definitely need to practice my texturing and rendering skills! i figured i would finish up these three and then focus on getting them textured, as I haven't done much of that yet.

eventually i'd like to create a small scene with a number of the objects - sort of a corner of the office type scene. we'll see how it goes....

bit of an update - i've mainly been finishing off the fan - adding details and sorting out the blades. I still have a couple more things to add, but I think I'm ready to start texturing...

here is a close up of the bit that makes the other bits spin... i like to keep things technical...

I've probably added too much detail, but i was kind of having fun and it will probably be in the forefront if i do make a final scene...
