Hi everyone! I have been looking to do some skybox art myself and I have some questions about the workflow, specifically about how it is all set up in 3d. Say, I would like to do a skydome with some layered clouds. I prepare my cloud alphas in Photoshop, then strap them onto mesh cards in my 3d package and arrange into…

I plan to ask him about how he thought of the bag as well, now that I have contacted him. This is what the bag and her robot sidekick looks like right now.

I've been working on a personal project for awhile now but now I have reached a point where I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm a big Metal Gear fan and there's a Metal Gear Risk board game that I want to upscale to a war game scale for my own personal use. I've worked out just about everything except the miniatures. My…
