I appreciate it very much,<br /><br />I really should sit down and outline the process a bit more, but that would be silly, as part of the beauty of all the great work I see on everyone's blogs is the diversification.<br /><br />Amazing stuff out there, isn't there? I just love to absorb it all, I feel like Chauncey Gardiner in "Being There".<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Andrew :)Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-72001323824653323892010-02-19T10:27:45.804-08:002010-02-19T10:27:45.804-08:00Very cool!

Thanks for the kind comm...Hi Kev, Karen and Susan,<br /><br />Thanks for the kind comments.<br /><br />I forgot to say that normally you would apply the texture to the 3d mesh before rendering, but in this case I was lazy and did it after in post by using the 'fill with pattern' tool in photoshop elements after making a pattern of the dragon skin.<br /><br />If you get a chance try the smart objects function. It means that you can size and resize a layer without losing quality because photoshop 'vectorises' the layer.<br /><br />Ps Susan, thanks for the blog award!Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-27102535648374470162010-02-18T12:37:22.249-08:002010-02-18T12:37:22.249-08:00Hee hee, Andrew I gave you a blog award, check it ...Hee hee, Andrew I gave you a blog award, check it out!<br /><br />http://susanbethstudio.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-award.htmlSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279040381509033619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-45460923800739794112010-02-18T10:19:38.816-08:002010-02-18T10:19:38.816-08:00Oooo, I love dragons - and sparkle of course!

He was talking about the mesh thing so I guess maybe it is a similar program.
