Very cool.  I like the design.

[NeoHunter]

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.

[NeoHunter]

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...

[Shrike]

  Wow!  You = Hardcore.  And it shows.  D you do this professionally?

[Darkshear]

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...
 

[NeoHunter]

I'm definitley still lost after reading your explaination. Means I'm no expert at graphics.

You must definately have sunk a lot of time into it though, you really know your stuff.

[NeoHunter]

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  

[Shrike]

Are you on ICQ?

[NeoHunter]

I have to agree. That stuff is super-l33t. Excellent work.  

[Jabu]

Excellent work.

But he gets to use LW. Not fair  

[Fineus]

You can use LW if you want as well... if you can afford the program itself that is  

And Darkshear...what can I say...um...  !
