After feedback on my showreel from a games company Black Rock it was time to update it and show off my 3D Models in a game engine. So I went on eat 3d website http://eat3d.com/pillar and started this tutorial which has been great I have learned a lot and after this I will create a larger scene or arena.
The model was created in XSI although the tutorial is for 3dsmax it can be done with some slight modification :) and lateral thinking ..
