I have decided to set up a site dedicated to tutorials. Here's the first one: Textures 1: Basic Hull plating.
Note: I've never done a tutorial before, so please give me feedback!

A small correction<P>Texture dimensions :<P>You say 12,32,64,...<P>I'm not sure but 12 pixels is not a supported size. <P>I think you mean 16 pixels instead of 12.<P>Anyway it's very good ! :)

sweet! If I get some time, I may play with my own Golans. I have 2 days to get a bunch of summer work completed though. Then school. I'll have to see.

I realize what you're looking for is constructive criticism, but none is needed. Booyah indeed. I am actually eager to attempt something now.

Just finished another texturing tutorial! This one's about easy 3D-surfaces and starship hull creation. Could come in handy for starship builders :)
Check 'em out!

Cool new tutorial. It seems easy and very effective! I hope I will do a starship size OPT in the near future again.
