More Plasma Machine

So here is another render of the Dreamland Models plasma machine, and it's a bit nicer than the last one--it's in a different warehouse, (this one by Stonemason ), and it's a bit darker-- and because of fewer windows, also renders faster. But it still wasn't quite what I wanted, so I hauled out Hexagon ( a 3d modelling program) and tried some things. I need to learn more about Hexagon anyway, so it was a good reason to sit and experiment. And I did learn a lot today--I learned how to use the line tool to make cables, which is something I have wanted to be able to make for literally years, because it is the way you also make things like plant stems, and vines. And seaweed. So here is my crude Plasma Machine, but I am going to paint up the new texture maps I made for it and try those out tomorrow--this is with mostly just color applied to the model, not real painted textures: I think this one looks a little more heavy-duty and menacing--the gorgeous wall and floor ...

I bought a Plasma Generator /particle accelerator* from Renderosity yesterday, and while it is perfectly fine, it looks a little to me like it was built on a budget, so I would like to beef it up a little. Difficulty: my modelling skills. Today's modelling efforts ended up being either very weird or somehow not surviving the dangerous journey from Hexagon to Daz Studio. I will try again tomorrow! * It says Particle Accelerator, but it doesn't look set up right for that. It kind of looks like a non-OSHA approved fusion reactor. In case you would like to see inside a real fusion reactor, check this out:
