Thanks, Raxx. I was thinkg it doesn't really match the body, but upon really thinking about it, it does look 'aight. Over the past few hours, I've gotten much farther than that even, and so I removed the originals (to save thread page space) and the newest ones are below.



It's going quite great for me! Notice the little detail on the shield, notably the bumpmap used to make the knicks and dents.  However, I'm having a bit of trouble. You see the shield, and how it has a texture? I can't get it to be double sided. When I select for it to be DS'd, it just turns the color of the material above it (which is pink, in this case), and doesn't actually allow me to do any color changing. What do I do????

Raxx:
Ok, just to verify, when you say "double sided", do you mean doing something like using the shell tool to give it depth, or are you applying a double-sided material to it instead?

If you're modifying the geometry to make it double-sided and it changes color or loses its texture, then more than likely the UVs got reset or the material got unassigned. Reapply the material to the shield and then use the UV tool to remap the material w/ texture on both sides of the shield.

If you're using a double-sided material on an open mesh (is only a polygon thick, like paper), you have to click on the "back" button in the material editor and reapply the textures and colors to the back side to mirror the front side. Make sure all of the parameters are the same.

If that's not what you meant, please clarify a little more on how you've got it set up and maybe a screenshot of the problem in effect.

Janro:
OH yeah, almost forgot about this xD

I already have a design to work on.

Tail needs a little more mechanized touch to it, but I can wing that when I model. XD

Perhaps I might do an approximation of this scene for the final entry as well.

Mills:
Is that your own work, Janro? Very cool ...

davdud101:
Hm... Odd to say the two-sided textures just started working for me out of the blue. Thanks anyway, Raxx.

Yo, Janro, haven't seen you in a while. That looks really sweet, reminds me a lot of a cat! (Which I assume was the intended effect) Hope the modelling goes well!
