How are you modelling this, do you just extrude out shapes and play around with the edges? With smoothing groups turned off? Really nice lighting and colours btw, love teh crystals in the desert =).
Your work is really inspiring :D ! What I'd be looking forward to the most in your tuts is how you choose the colors and apply dat fog and crystals and portals and -- scratch that, whatever you put in will be good...the more the better!
Thanks everybody! they are just separate meshes. the crystals are actually a group of about 5, then i just scale them and group them together to create a sort of plant growth across the scene. most of my scenes are just modelled for one shot. so i can usually make one landmass the way i want it, then duplicate that and use…
