Very nice work CptWhite. The GOD sat looks absolutely stunning. But to be honest I don't see much of a diference in the Olympus, (Probibly cause they are two different angles).
WOW . WOW. WOW.

don't go oveboard on smoothing, many ships don't need it, example; Omega, should have no smoothing at all

the olympus should only have it on the cylidrical things
