The Brain Amplfier - 50's comp entry

Hi all,

This was my entry for the Nurbs and Polys 50's sci-fi competition. I think there were three of us using MoI for this, me, Paq and Danny. [edit] actually there were four, Anis also used MoI for his entry[] This is the Brain Amplifier, a machine of my own design. All modeling was done in MoI then exported to modo and rendered.

I really enjoyed this competition and using MoI was a joy. I used the latest beta for the whole thing with no issues except the mirror normal flip problem. I found I used the cplane and new size display/edit control a lot too. This model really pushed my machine though. I had the mesh angle up as high as 50 with inflections turned off and navigation was still very sluggish, probably due to all the fillets. So I'm looking forward to Michael s mesh speed up coming along.

Here's some views of the completed model as rendered in modo:










and I've attached some screen grabs from MoI.

Cheers.
