thanks for all the positive comments guys. really made my day.
about the gi render zeroalarm. first off you need to get the gi plugin from highend3d.com for example. then you unzip the files and put it in your plugins folder in the maya folder. which by default is in my documents. you know what it'll save my hands some aching if you watch the tutorial instead explaing everything on text. https://3d-palace.com/index.php?page=tut1. go to the maya section then the gi solution. then download all 3 parts. he'll show you how to make the gi render. its takes alot of adjusting to make the render just right though.

okaaaay. heres another update. the engine block. i checked out how the arm section. its looks quite complex. cant wait.
