Quote - I just try & make stuff that looks cool

Stonemason, easy for you to say! You're a genius. Your scenes are so beautiful. I own a couple and they are wonderfull just to look at... hardly want to crud them up with my figures etc. I really want Sector 15 soooo bad but I really don't know when I will have the money. You have the perfect balance of visual interest and rational plausibility...

When I make stuff its starts acreating nurnies like barnacles... ugh! Part of that is that I have to obscure the fact that I am working entirely with primitives. I have tried a bunch of different modeling programs and I just   don't "get" any of them.

I appreciate all the help here. It really has me thinking in a productive way. I don't think I am being rigid about rationality, it is just I need that structure of rational design since I don't have the aptitude or talent to just have at it intuitively. I do want to try to do this for the creative experience but really it does come down to the economics of it I guess.
