Just watched a bit of your tutorial and it’s quite good mate, cheers for taking the time to make it.
It’s been quite a few years since I’ve played around with Maya but I remember I just couldn’t get the hang of it at the time, thou now I’m starting to have a change of heart as it looks really attractive and I really like the UI layout and menus.

My school’s made a believer out of me when it comes to Maya. I used to swear by 3ds Max. When it comes to renders, I still kinda do, its far more powerful in that respect… but when it comes to building geometry and uv layouts… nothing beats Maya.

Nice Part II Sizer. Thanks for continuing this series.

Err… check out your link to the nVidia DDS/Normals plugin please. I think it is fascinating!

[Sizer]

Fixed, thanks for the heads up XD

Uh, I don’t use PS, it’s too expensive, do you have a Gimpshop alt?

[Sizer]

I do not. However, the techniques involved are pretty much the same across the board.

[GeoCalibur]

I need the GIMP 2.6 plugins for DDS, otherwise my project is at a virtual standstill.

google is your friend.

Yeah, just got them, the latest iteration for 2.6 the others won’t be so useful. I can’t use Gimp 2.8 kept getting crashes dealing with larger files.

UPDATE: I’m gonna make an original R-Type vessel for Discovery, perhaps the first of many original designs. Is that OK? They’ll each get a vessel-bound superweapon based on their purpose and design. How cool is that?
