    Re: John Michaels - Modern Desert Cave Dwelling

    Thanks Russell, I'm hoping I can finish it. I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to get the cave and terrain to look decent. But I'm learning. Here's the water deionizer tank I found is necessary for the electrolyzer to work properly. I'll add the hoses in when I build the final scene.

    Here's the geothermal heat pump.

    I had a strange problem I hadn't encountered before, underneath the pressure gauge's glass. It appeared as though it was filling with smoke:

    But in the shader properties under Advanced Refraction in Maya, selecting Backface Culling did the trick.

    Thanks kiteman. Here's a Deep-Cycle Battery. I'll do the rest of the bank later today if I have time.

    Re: John Michaels - Modern Desert Cave Dwelling

    Yeah, I was mainly doing this stuff just to learn the modeling. I need to start focusing on the actual house and terrain, considering most of the stuff I've done won't even be visible from the outside...

    Here's a quick battery bank. I was lazy and decided to just use cylinders for the wiring instead of the more realistic extrude along a nurbs curve, but officially my "excuse" is that the wires are quite thick and inflexible due to the 12V current; these are all wired in parallel for quite the mAh level.
