Thunderbolt Textures
Working on textures for the P-47D. The fuselage and wings are just about finished. Maybe I'll paint a diffuse map to dirty it up a little. Still have a lot of maps to paint for the other
Learning Max
I've been asked to do an art test for a game studio in 3D Studio Max. Great! Problem is, I didn't know Max. So I've been studying up and I've got a pretty good handle on the modeling and texturing tools. I still think Lightwave is a better program, but hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta
