part one of an awesome update

i apologize for the lack of updates this past few weeks, but i have been doing alot of work, and i gotta say i'm quite happy of the results so far.. :]

this series is from term 4 week 4-5:

chinatown scene update

ch-ch- check it out...

SURFACING!! :]

Allllll this....

Equals this...:

these aren't the surfacing tests from start to end. It's just my nights work; to show myself that i did indeed do something tonight.. ;)

all the shaders are mia_materials, lit with mental ray physical spot lights (and point lights for testing)

also note that the reflections (as you may have noticed) aren't proper reflections; the reflect map is just the .jpg of my onesheet proof of concept; i havent decided yet on the look of the reflections... i just needed something to reflect for the tests.

what do you guys think?
