Modular buildings - some technical questions
Just some various technical questions regarding modular sets and best optimized practices. - how many materials is too much for a modular set? Lets say a city building?

Re: [CE3] Yet Another Sci-fi Scene
I would like to go on further and ask you why you have done the panels they way you have? The reason for all those panels with screws and such, would be for them to be easily retractable.

Re: Feedback from those who know about 3D art.
You asked for it. Remember you can also ignore this post. If you did not appreciate the response. Long story short; its very cold & mechanical but i don't see much cuteness & fun factor, (for me).
