I really like the Renders, and your texturing is really good too. I not sure if i would have it in me to model an entire Room full of objects. user added image

thanks wod - yeah - most of the textures were painted in photoshop - some of them (like the keyboards and chair) were started as procedurals and then converted to file textures to continue working on. the fly was a bit more complicated - i posted one of his shaders a couple of pages back.

no - i tend to stay clear of booleans - it's just a modified cylinder with the vertices of the main body snapped to its edges. i then deleted the faces it covers to make a hole.
