Some of you like these, (many of you hate 'em) But I'm doing some therapy here, which I apparently need.

I've read about people like you....
How do you do the different ribbing? Repetative ribbing at that...

zbrush2 (you can get a demo of 1.55 at the Pixologic website). I build almost all my textures in it. Then I bring them into PS and mess with them. It will open all new vistas for you. Then if you are fortunate enough to be a paranoid schizophrenic, you can really wig out.

Oh wow. I love this piece. There's something celtic about the layout.

Zbrush2? I'm sorry. I'm not familar with the program. What is it? And does it work on a Mac?

Moth, the answer is yes, there is a Mac version. You can get a demo of 1.55. Not a bad version. It's a very powerful app. The learning curve is steep, but levels out once you get a handle of what the basic tools do. I'm still learning how to do things like importing psd's as textures and the assortment of keyboard commands. I don't know if you can import anything in the demo, or save for that matter. If you can't save, there's always the old 'print screen' workaround. I popped out the $489 for z2 'cause I couldn't live without it. It also does animation, I haven't messed with that yet.

That is amazingly well done. It looks JUST like plastic.

Yeah, I like it! It seems like it's missing some shadows though. It looks kinda flat and 2d. Putting some shadows would give it more depth.
