Excellent job on the "biomechanical" textures and heightmap Pidjy! Many years ago when I lived in Hollyweird, I had the immense pleasure of attending the premiere of the movie "Alien" at the Egyptian Theater. The producers of the movie brought in many props and sets from the film, including the Giger sculpture of the alien pilot from the weird ship where the Alien "eggs" are first found. The sculpture was huge and was fabricated from(I believe) expanded polyurethane foam over a metal armature. I was able to spend at least a half an hour examining this incredible work of art. A few days later I read in the newspaper that some pinhead idiot vandal had used a cigarette lighter to set the sculpture on fire, and it was completely destroyed! It still makes me mad when I think of this!
