currently stopped again from thunder, model approximately 2/3 done. i wonder how much concern is warranted and how much is paranoia in regard to lightning frying electronics i keep reminding myself to just get the mesh out as quickly as possible and that i will still optimize it in maya before laying out the UVW, but it is hard to altogether keep myself from considering topology. it is tempting to use some sort of automesh algorithm considering the ships will never deform, but i feel like i must have tried that at some point and not been happy with it
