...but I don't advise you to listen!!!

Nice one, Erisian
I've got to get on Drac's Metal Wurx Series.

Thanks Odin. Strangly enough, it's due to Drac's Metal wurx series that I can now do wood and plastic as well as metal. Stone and concrete...? I'm just going to have to work that one out for myself!

Nice work Erisian, Heres a link to a simple concrete tutorial

@ Erisian

he4rty and O.

eeuw, what's that noise?
great looking vinyl, brother! and great looking record player too. but if you kept your xcf this time i suggest you add some moving shines on the record, because it looks like only the centre of the record is moving - or is that just me being fussy?

very nice Erisian (again lol) !

Tone Deaf Records

how did you make the reflections on the record ?



how about adding some grooves ?


i downloaded a bunch of record pics from some free texture download website...cant remember where
but i got this pic from said site - might be interesting as a reference




wanted to suggest the same as he4rty, bump map with noise

i think i even saw that in some link you gave

AnMal - The shines don't move unless the record is warped. Look carefully at the left edge of the record as it spins.

Esper - 1. Circular selection, Desaturated metallic gradient in cone mode on a grain merge layer.
2. I tried creating grooves but couldn't make it work. I don't like using photo material or
other peoples stuff when I'm trying to create something from scratch. Thank you anyway.

aah, i see it.

In a way you were right. I would have loved to have the gloss move a little up and down but it would have been too complicated to do.

ah, quite obvious actually, thanks for the explanation !!

i can understand that

sorry if i was coming across as overzealous - thats not my intention

Not at all Esper. It's good to have you around.

Wow..Great work

Thank you alc.

I was gonna say what AnMal said but you cleared it up for me!
I like it a lot!
And I think your voice is lovely.

Thank you Mokonafan. I am actually a musician and in the eighties I produced an album. Sadly I no longer have access to a playable copy but about 13 years ago I re recorded one of the tracks as a single. I still have the disc and an MP3 copy and I was half thinking of posting it as an attatchment.

It is very pretty music Eris.

if you have that mp3 why don't you post it as an attachment now?

Thank you Molly.

Oooh, you're twisting my arm AnMal. I'll give it serious thought and if I decide to, I'll start another thread for it.
