Wow..thanks so much for the support!! I still have a long journey ahead before completion. I've made a few mistakes during building, one of which was huge clusters of vertices, I was working on the assumption more would give me better detail. And my research on the forum revealed my assumption was wrong and will cause performance issues in the long run. And being such a large age in my case less vertices the better. So I'll have to rebuild most of it.
You know I was inspired by the pod age Dereno, and despite how beautifully crafted it was..it left me wanting. I wanted to see more. My goal is to have a underwater observatory/aquarium where the aquatic and plant life are all around making one feel completely immersed in the environment. If I pull it off..it could be really awesome.
