    Yep, nice modeling/textures details. Make sure we see them in the final image!

    Here's the Solar Collector, textured. There's an issue with the way I modeled the parabolic dish itself (darn boolean operations!) but I'm probably not going to bother fixing it, as I doubt it'll be seen farther away.

    And with a studio lighting HDRI just to test the coloring on the secondary mirror:

    Thank you both for the praise, I've never really modeled before (except for bouncing balls...) so I'm trying to be detailed even though I know this detail (such as the size/measurements stamped into the bolt heads, and individual optic fibers) will be lost in a larger scene and will complicate render times. I suppose I'm really just doing it trying to learn the ins and outs of modeling. And I now realize how frustrating using boolean operations can be. :|

    Excellent research and concept John. Like it very much. Good going.

    EXCELLENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ACHIEVED ONLY BY THOSE WHO DARE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING INSIDE THEM IS SUPERIOR THAN CIRCUMSTANCES

    Here's the electrolyzer. The UV map took the longest; it just did not want to work properly. :| But then again I've never used a UV map before and I have no clue what I'm doing. I still haven't gotten the bump map to work for the buttons.

    Edit: Got the bump map working, and added a reflection map for the LED screen.

You can :
  1. Send chats : you just have to enter the text in the dedicated input field and then to validate it by pushing the return key ou by clicking on the OK button.
  2. Format the chats :
  3. once you un-collapse the chatbox formatting toolbar by clicking on the BBCode button, you have access to different formatting options for your chats. You can format a chat by selecting a part (or the totality) of it and then select one of the buttons/list. You can also add empty formatting tags by selecting nothing and clicking one of the buttons/menu thus allowing you to add the chat text afterwards between these tags.*
  4. Access to the different channels : you can have access to different channels restricted to only some usergroupds or for specifics use of the chatbox. The different channels are accessible from the buttons on the left of the chatbox.*
  5. Edit your chats (or others chats) : the edition of a chat can be done by a simple double-click on it.*
  6. Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*
* : Depending on the settings chosen by the administrator(s) of the forum, you might not have access to all these features.
