Another version of the model from my water tower tutorial. I had mentioned in the tutorial, that the model could be taken further with the addition of a few extra details. So I decided to do that myself, by adding a bunch of nails, metal plates and rivets to the tower.

I also made some heavy modifications to the structure. I tweaked a bunch of shit, moved most of the boards around, and placed a few of them on the ground. This of course meant the original AO map no longer matched the model. So rather then bake out a new one, I painted out some of the original shadows by hand. I also added a simple model stand, some ground and finally the grass. Lighting was done using a Vray sun and sky setup.
