Hi All,
I have a couple of small updates to show you. I've finished building and mapping the dome. Here you can see the top of the dome, plus a
sample texture was applied. Please don't beat me up too much about it, I just wanted to see what it looked like.
Not the final textures!
Also, I've generated a looped animation if you'd care to see:

You'll need
this codec in order to view it. It's
XVid. I apologize for not using a more standardized codec, but DivX's quantizer kept destroying the texture data. Sadly, it's that texture's interaction with light that I was testing with that video, so I had to use a more obscure codec that preserved the detail. (You might as well install it, there's a strong possibility that future videos I do will use this codec unless I can figure out how to make DivX sing...)
I'm going to level with you all. Though I'm rather competant with Photoshop, and I know my way around Lightwave's surfaces, I'm not quite sure how to go about texturing this thing.
I need help. If any of you
has suggestions about how to a.) Find/Generate the Imagery and b.) apply it in Lightwave, I am all ears. I've got some ideas I'm pursuing, but I'd really like to hear from those of you who've worked on something sorta like this.
Enjoy!
P.S. Yes I willl revise the structure to be a little more sound. I hope nobody feels I blew them off, just wasn't focused on that part yet.
