So on this note perhaps those artists that create non-space themes this month would be willing to write a tutorial or two for the LDraw site explaining how on earth they did what they did. =) (Sorry Tim more work for you) Tim it looks like we need a new category/topic for the tutorial section: Photoshop touchups! Do we have any volunteers to teach the rest of us... oh please, please, please... Brad Hamilton did you insert the mountian background using Photoshop? Martin Humel are those red glows shadowless spotlights in POV? Joel Kuester, how on earth did you get the model into that image? Photoshop layers trick? Cale Leiphart did you too use shadowless spotlights forthe candeles? How did you do the candles? Jermey H. Sproat those lasers how? and the jetpack vents? and the mountain POV or photshop? All of these are prime candiates for tutorials or even how-to's a simpel step by step procedure on how to do what you did in your image. From there the reader can take it to the next level... -AHui
