Just felt compelled to do so.

Thank u for chrome1 and chrome2 for emap. I just love the second bevel effect GnuTux.

Hope you don't mind me borrowing your template Warrior.

Not at all. I found it on Deviant Art, via Google.

Got the footprints from Openclipart.org.

OTHER TWO - BRL with my L_Probe maps

Neat. Looks almost like embroidery.

Got this link thanks to Tux:

Thought I would blend a topaz texture after the render as well (not seamless and displaced strategically as well).

That is very cool, Lyle.

Blending or overlaying a pattern/gradient, after applying BRL, is a good technique.

Very nice guys, Lyle, yours looks just like real glass or Topaz.
Love yours too tux, it has the leopard look, and oooh so smooth

Can't waste a good template. lol

Very cool Lyle.

Here's one I was just messing with:

And a few more:



With color:

One more time:

Wow. That's really shiny and reflective, Lyle.

I also really like the color dragon, Warrior. I'll bet it would look cool with dragon scales.

I really love that bottom one with color, really shiny.

GT, that would look cool. Somewhere in this thread, I overlayed scales on some text.

Thanks Molly, I really liked the colors on that one too.

Here ya go GT. Thanks for the link:

That's cool Warrior!
