I found this tutorial a while ago that I used when I wanted to make the shield. It's a Photoshop tutorial but the workflow method can be applied to creating your texture base for the shield itself. http://abduzeedo.com/captain-america-shield-photoshop
I wouldn't mind seeing them both. Btw, here is an interesting tutorial on modeling hands I've been studying: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1mExXURsWk"]Fast and efficient 3D modeling tutorial for the human hand - YouTube[/ame]
It's a bit old, but there's SkyPaint: http://www.skypaint.com/ It has a tutorial with CryEngine: http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDOC2/SkyPaint+Tutorial I'd love to hear about a more modern workflow that relies on one of the major 3D packages (Max, Maya, Blender etc.).
I used this tutorial for the planet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq6Ftd8bziU For the space skydome, I used Spacescape http://alexcpeterson.com/spacescape/ to create the texture and used this tutorial to setup in UE4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSRsQpRfDlk Hope this helps!
Ive watched bits and pieces of racers tutorial, im gunna sit down with some popcorn and follow the entire tutorial one of these days when i have time. I thought specular maps could only be black a white? 0o.
I wrote a tutorial not too long ago that has a section about UV unwrapping in Maya. Once you get the hang of it, you can unwrap pretty fast. Check it out here: http://jasongordy.com/pages/tutorial/page1.html

Started Following the Space Golem modeling and texturing tutorials on gumroad. I'm at the texturing stage and this is the first time I'm texturing with values and it feels pretty good. Progressing slowly through the tutorial, but I guess it means I have a lot to learn.
