Very cool. I like the design.

I forgot to ask yo where you got you
textures. They look very realistic.

I make all textures myself...
I am weird...I won't use anyone elses work in anyway...
except for once in awhile modeling something from some universe like Star Wars or something...but that is as far as I go.
-
What did you use to create the textures?

Adobe Photoshop...
I use a template created in lightwave of an image of the surface I want to texture...with the camera a long distance off and zoomed in tight, to make the model appear flat, then take it into photoshop, bump up the image size to a point that I want to work with...depending on the detailing, and so on you want....then texture it up...
I also have created a base library of tileable textures I use...each surface has a lot of texture overlays though, to get the proper spec/diff/gloss/bump going...

(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/eek.gif) Wow! You = Hardcore. And it shows. D you do this professionally?
-
Nah, I have never made any money from digital art...
I am aspiring to someday get to that point though...
Just need to keep working on my assorted skills...
So far I can do animation, texturing, character animation, effects, video compositing...all kinds of stuff...but I am just not happy with my quality level yet...

You must definately have sunk a lot of time into it though, you really know your stuff.
-
Maybe you could do a texture tutorial?

Oh yeah...this is my passion...I do it to relaxe...in my free time for fun...everrytime I see any good effects in a movie or on TV I try and recreate them...
It is a lot of fun to create things...I think that is why I spend so much time on it..
BTW NeoHunter, Email me, and I can walk you through the texturing process I use if you like (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Yeah, that is my number...but I am rarely on...
I will try to be more often, but I am ussually closeing everything down to free up more rescources for lightwave (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Got your email address. This?

I have to agree. That stuff is super-l33t. Excellent work. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Excellent work.
But he gets to use LW. Not fair (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
-
You can use LW if you want as well... if you can afford the program itself that is (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
And Darkshear...what can I say...um... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/eek.gif)!
