I was wondering how all the decorated tiles, bricks and minifig heads, torsos etc that LDraw/MLcad uses were created. I'd like to create some custom parts and I haven't found any good information on the process. Any help would be much appreicated. (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build)

Hey Yaron, thanks, this is the first Ancient Americas MOC I recall in awhile. Somehow studs look good on Mayan pyramids, maybe because I'm prepared to see them somewhat "greebly".

Golden Calf highlights: I really like how the calf changes from the first to the second picture as Aaron wasn't finished carving it yet. Nice detail. The design of the calf itself is good.
