m4dcow's response did not show up on my phone for some reason. I enabled use cage like you said and it... worked!? So what does "use cage" actually do? I've been googling the crap out of this and it's not making any sense. You say to use it when you mesh it "smooth" but at what point does smooth become "not smooth?"
I don't have much of an overall design besides I want my entries to use the type of gemstone formation as shown in the screenshot, and incorporate jungle sort of foliage (vines, thorns, flowers) and maybe a few mayan or incan statues or ornamental bits. This is my turret design, idea being to have some sort of menacing…
Thanks for the feedback m4dcow! I made some changes to the layout to break things down into categories a little more while still putting a lot of images in the viewer's face at once, and I ended up leaving the blurb for my resume and LinkedIn page. I'm almost done with my initial pass on the site so I'll post another…

@m4dcow, yea he does pack the emissive, and opacity together. Most of my work will be for my portfolio. I graduate at the end of this spring this year. @Computron, I'll keep that in mind. I wasn't really worried, its just I've seen two different methods to produce similar results and I just felt like asking which one may…
Thanks for helping me. I added the solutions to the main post.

If some one can still help me with 1, 2, 3a and 5 that…
@m4dcow that’s the main issue I was running into that I wasn’t sure what to do. So let’s say I have a texture that’s 16x16 bathroom tiles like you said, but there’s a specific design within that bathroom tile texture, so I can’t simply reduce the tiles, they have to stay at 16x16. What would I do in that case? That’s the…
Of course, hadn't even thought about sound! m4dcow, so you are saying if a get an HDMI cable connecting my ps3 to my monitor I can then just plug my speakers into my monitor and everything should work? I have the below speakers, and a USB headset.…
so m4dcow, this is the first time I've had to smooth normals (I'm assuming that's the Averaging Normals, right?) due to "I can't make anything work until I do this." So what technical purpose does doing this serve in relation to a (I'm assuming) low-poly model (or high res mesh for that matter)? What does it specifically…
chriszuko - thanks for the tips. Yes for the roof and everything else, I am going to try and stay true to the concept as far as modelling goes. And yes, for the bottom pieces they are going to be like in the concept, I just put boxes to block out. m4dcow - Thank you! Sparr - Damn!! someone is already working on this…
