heh, i finished the class a while ago so i haven't done much modeling. I've been slowly tinkering away at a glass star.
The space needle was actually mesh smoothed, but i never rendered a close up shot of it. The one that's farther away you can tell it's smoother. (well aactually, i increased the segments of it)
There aren't any updates however. Well, sorta. here's another image. lol.
