Sweet reel, I found myself pausing on the wireframe shots of the vehicles. Question for you Jay, DustyKhan brought up a topic of how to determine whether or not part of a model should be a separate piece of geometry or carved into to the main surface. Looking at the vehicles and the way you separated the pieces makes total sense to me and I'd approach it in like fashion. So here is the actual question, do you think it's good idea to approach this issue as if you were assembling this structure in real life? I've seen quite a lot of people try to complete a model by cutting and carving from a single piece of geometry which can easily yield an unmanageable mess. And do you utilize a lot of "duplicate face" operations rather than creating new primitives? I'm going to stop here before this turns into an interview lol.
