[Jungle_Jim]

wicked, glad you can see it mate

[bear_westy]

how long did that take?

[Jungle_Jim]

about an hour mate, its relatively simple, hardest part is just finding decent textures.

all you do is paste the textures on a new layer over the top of the model in the various places and change the layer property to overlay, that way it still apears 3d

[bear_westy]

i see.... still looks cool and more complicated smileys/smiley4.gif

[Jungle_Jim]

yup i had no idea how to do it then the other day i saw an artcile about it in a magazine and it was so much easier than i first thought. so had a crack and hey presto ....

Nice work there mate, I've never tried anything like that before myself, I mainly make sigs for people on various forums, but I may just mess around in PS sometime and see what I come up with! smileys/smiley4.gif
