Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0  | yeah my method is similar to nightshadows for the texture as far as using noise maps, but i start with a falloff map, set perpendicular/parallel to darken the edges of the object, then a turbulence noise map for the smoke, and inside that a fractal noise map to detail the smoke. works pretty nicely. and it does have windows, you just cant see em yet. theyre all on the rim of the saucer. the smoothing error i know about though, i just forgot to turn the smooth modifier on the saucer back on. |
