Materialize - High Performance Exhaust (MDL)

My entry for the Allegorithmic Materialize contest. (Ended up placing 3rd in the MDL category https://www.substance3d.com/blog/materialize-contest-and-winners-are)

Doing the renders for this brought my computer to its knees! I kept running out of video card memory causing the renders to stall, due to the way I layered the MDL; my video card wasn't happy juggling all those 4096x4096 textures. In the future, I'll try to combine material layers where I can to reduce the memory load.

This was my first experience with using MDL. I'll definitely be utilizing it for future personal projects.
