@Jonnybode - thanks! About to fire up P8 now, and I'll try that. I also went through the model last night and came up with the minimal amount of added loops cuts I could figure out and I'll see what that does as well. Gonna try both the one shown above, as well as the new version and see if I've gained any benefits.

@TrekkiGrrrl - thanks also! I'm gonna start with a clean futuristic kinda texture, and then an almost kinda creepy "underground brutal" texture (I'm thinking people would like a choice between a good or bad place for "competitions") - and have the templates so you can create your own as well.

Yes, I was gonna for for an outlandish over the top Vegas cheesy hotel room next. This would not be your normal hotel room - multi-level (3-4 stair steps to get up or down to them), center fireplace, champagne glass bathtub, heart-shaped big bed, large open shower stall with quadrupal head, monster TV with entertainment system (basically, this could be a mnulti-use place - you could actually turn it into a bar, turn it into a regular living room for more normal settings, etc.) etc.

After that I've come up with a list of 18 more scenes/environments, and that's not including "props sets" that I'm planning as well.

Gotta finish this one first, though. Gonna bring both in - the older one with smoothing unchecked and see if it works, the new one - see if it works regardless (or did I just create more geometry for no reason? kinda thing).

Thanks all, and I'll be back later tonight (can't be on P8 too long - gotta play with my boys today, mow the lawn, make sure my wife realizes I still love her and haven't forgotten her, etc.).

-Lew ;-)
