Part 3: Tex and Sim
Done modeling, got some early textures and experimenting with the cold head nitrogen release sequence. Testing out some methods how I could do the smoke, flipbooks, animated texture arrays, or openVDBs. Substance painter recently updated and broke everything to no one's surprise, so I had to restart multiple times.

Part 2: Hi-Res and UVs
Haven't got to a first bake yet, but I'm practically already there, using the CAD refacet, I was able to get down to 21k as a first pass without any effort. Making good progress.

Part 3: Materials
Finally getting back into it, for this part, I wanted to begin with my first bakes and textures, just to get a better feel of what the final model might look like.
Did some bevel shader baking from Marmoset to Painter, it came out pretty nice.
