The steelworks project was started more than a year ago, it was intended to be a pack of different buildings, props, and networks. I can’t bring myself to work on this anymore. The final dozens of hours were spent copying and pasting the same walkways and stairs in different places and adjusting them to fit, in the end I started cutting more and more corners, many stairs don’t fit the supporting structure or go straight through a railing or don’t line up with anything, there probably are some parts with incorrect smoothing as well… The LODs are garbage. There is no excuse for this atrocity but I want to finally put this behind me and work on new assets.
