    Looking for an Armored car?

    Mike - I'm using Maya, though I'm considering investing in either FormZ (used it a long time ago) or Rhino (never used it before) simply because of the 'unfold' functions on offer.

    Pepakura tutorial

    Anyone can easily learn to texture a model. How good the texture ends up will also depend on your personal ability to paint or draw. Just because you have photoshop doesn't make you an artist. As Art Decko said, a bit of patience, practice and eye for detail is a good start. There are also...

    Pepakura tutorial

    I'm not sure what I can do or say to help as I mostly use Maya; anyone else use Maya? But if I can contribute lemme know. I am myself currently designing a model series with it, maybe a CG model build thread? I want to learn Rhino myself as I think the unfold is kewl. PBear
