heyas; well, scrap that mud, roshi wants me to paint a real uv blend map for it.... it did render kinda funny. i browned up the grey skin to look dustier, so it kinda colour blended together with the brown mud. not so good. the birds are the cheap (free) poser passerine, and not that good. i gotta unpack my songbird and make a texture map for it and put it in there. they'll look more like something in a bigger render. i dunno if i want darker shadows... it's supposed to be a bright african day. but i can give it a shot. thanks, guys :)
