Thus, the shadows give it away... what's the work around for that? Thx. Great tutorial, learned a lot of basic tools I didn’t know about, like the sweep modifier :)

I didn't understood very much about foating geometry and when can be used...but anyway...very talented guy. thanks alot Very nice tutorial.

You are fast man, I dont know how many times I had to stop the vid and go back....Great thing with the shortcuts. Hi Ben, thanks for the tutorial.

For baking a AO map you can use Light tracer to avoid weird stuff happening under your floating geometery. you could also add a edit poly modifier to the stack to flip normals without collapsing.

Thanks for the great tutorial man. I plan on using these techniques a lot! I think someone once said.. "Float like geometry, sting like a bee". You sneaky ba***rd! Thanks for the great tutorial man.
