I haven’t saved out a render, but played around with doing it in 2.63 (the first version that had Cycles) and almost up to the same point, and except for the auto smoothing (which wasn’t until later), it’s been just about exactly like the tutorial. (And much faster than the 2.49 version 😀 ) Although the one difference is that I had to make my ngons in smaller chunks or it couldn’t solve it.
