Sorry for the huge post here, but I just wanted to share the Bioshock Benchmark utility. I ran it at max settings at 1080p. You can see the average frame rate sits between 35-55fps. It's awesome having a laptop that is more powerful than my desktop :P I can't recommend this laptop enough. During the benchmark I could…
@electricsauce Maya has a mirror geometry feature other than duplicate special, but duplicate special should no longer flip normals; I think it was fixed in Maya 2014 or 2013.

Here's my progress so far! I'm trying to keep the poly-count as low as possible (sitting at 540tris atm). I'm also not too familiar with hand-painting textures, so I'm experimenting a lot. I've remade the wood a couple of times (this is the one I'm the most happy with) and I'm really not sure what stylized leather is…
