To answer your questions Quest, I usally spend a lot of time browsing through industrial reference shots such as these here. Even the smallest little gadgets can boost an idea, whether its a cool shape or something else. Normally i work from an idea and have most of the stuff thought out, but in this case, i just model as i go, trying out different stuff. Pretty much a test for the new system as well, to see how much i can put into the scene. :) And nah, havent seen any strange romanians around my circuits yet. I think the tentacles are scaring him. :)
