Re: How can I model complex electrical props and assemble them together while not knowing their form?
Start with the most obvious and clear cables, make sure those make sense, and then you can be more creative with the messy dangling ones.

Re: Which Michael Pavlovich tutorial should I get (To Start With)?

I don't disagree with @oglu, but there is a couple things in particular that will make your work go a lot easier: learn to use layers learn to use… -
Re: Arctic greenhouse
