Fishscale Texture Tutorial
Viktor started a model sharing thread in the Gallery. That inspired me to create a tutorial for creating a fish scale texture (if you emailed me asking how I did the dragon scale, this is it ). I think I've created a simple easy to follow tutorial . Maybe I succeeded, but maybe I didn't. Mabye it's not so easy to follow if you haven't done this before. Seems easy to me though.
Rather than dump this in Viktor's model sharing thread, I'm starting a new topic here in Tips. It will be easier to keep track of (and respond to) any follow up questions anyone may have.
The approach I documented isn't the only way to do this. It's just the way I chose to document. Hope you find it useful.
You should find an image of the texture created in the tutorial and a tutorial pdf attached to this message.

Re: Fishscale Texture Tutorial
I am sure I will find it immensely useful in the near future. At the present time I am so busy I cannot get to it. I have studied your tutorial and it all looks good. I really appreciate your doing that.
Anything you can post in the future will be equally appreciated.

Re: Fishscale Texture Tutorial
I agree there's so much to do or want to do that it hard to get to all of it. This forum is a gold mine of information and I for one really appreciate it. I know how much time it takes to work up something like this. Great job and please keep posting and hopefully some of us will get to it soon.

Re: Fishscale Texture Tutorial
Great! Glad you found it useful. After I complete the current project I am working on, I should be able to pull together another tutorial. If the project doesn't crash and burn, maybe it will be a technique for a building block approach to celtic knot design.

Even though you are on the right track - you will get run over if you just sit there.
