I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!
fixed the smoothing groups and tweaked the textures a bit. Suddenly the pipe is smooth :)
Ah, much better. Very nice, I really like the exposed rebar.
I also like the layering affect: paint, mortar, brick
Very nice diffuse work!
I bet it looks even better real-time because you won't see the aliased edges.
