Things at home are pretty fraught - son bawling and Mrs and I are stressed. I took a few moments last night refactor the Arms 2 model and it felt very relaxing. The Arms 2, like many of the Icar models are fine in the current issue of the Equipment Index but in the new one everything is very sharp because the resolutions are that much better. The upshot is that the model doesn't look very good when rendered in high resolution. I use the original as a starting point and then tweak and increase the detail, adding image maps.
I didn't finish the new Arms 2, so don't have anything to show just now but the act of tweaking things in 3D left me very relaxed.
