Wow lots of replies...will do my best to answer.

Rick: Thanks mate, hahah you're as bad as me...need to see a wire!! need to see a wire! I checked out that link you sent me on skype. Impressive work. The uvs are as I would expect them to be. He had clearly increased the tiling for the u and v so the map repetition was increased to get rid of the stretching, but otherwise all good stuff. He works at MPC, but not sure if its the one here in London or the Vancouver studio.


Gen: hehe no worries, its just down to preference at the end of the day and whats going to be quicker and more efficient for you. Generally once you are in the studio, and as long as the job is done correctly and looks like what it should then the supervisors wont bat an eyelid as to your preffered method of modelling. Its horses for courses

Tweety: Thanks for the kind words. I hope you enjoyed what you saw mate!!


Dave: Yes the stuff Genny mentioned is pretty much, but as I explained its what will work for you at the end of the day providing the work is done correctly. Yes the Titanic gantry was a challenge. The left and right gantry parts were done once and flipped as you would to mirror it, but the middle part had to be done from scratch pretty much as its quite different. Also I was given bad measurements from the set pieces, the main problem being the ramp walkway, I was given the wrong angle of tilt and therefore it cause the ramp to be too steep and go thru the floor. They were adamant it was correct, but I screwed and told them otherwise, I then gave them the trigonometry measurement to work it out, height over distance and all that to get the angle of the ramp with a length of 15 feet or something to that effect. They did it and erm, I was right!! so....a few issues like that had to be ironed out. There were other probs with it but I wont bore the pants off you. Glad you like the model though, thanks
