No criticism from me looks stunning. Would love to see a render with the screen on though and the game playing.

Keep up the great work

Have been "digitally restoring" the textures. I'm done with the control panel. Gonna do the other ones too as they aren't really top notch.

No, Photoshop. Although it would be more correct to use a vector drawing app in this case it would take even longer time.

Here's the marquee at night. I'ts a pretty complicated solution. The material is a plastic-ish one with SSS and behind that is a light that shines through the plastic. I'm not exactly sure about all the settings, but it's a start anyway.

Wow, very good Modeling!
The Rendered Frame looks awesome!

But whats about the illumination?
I see 3 planes wich seems to be the light source, right?
What for a kind of light it is?
I think this method is for smooth, constant illumination!
Could anydude user added image

explain the method of that interisting stuff? :attn:
