Hi Klown :)

Just a idea for you, dig around the net for free textures that are close or match what you need and then you could apply and save them yourself.

I've stuck with Studio 2.3, mainly because I can't afford the full version of 3.x anytime soon, so I'm used to having to apply/add my own textures. It doesn't take that much longer and for me it's gives me a sense of actually doing more than point and click LOL

So between fiddling with the color channels and applying your own textures you can come up with some great looks. Also don't forget the Opacity channel as well as bump and displacement ones.

I hope this helps ya a bit. Feel free to shoot me a note if you have any questions about my ramblings LOL

wow...very cool..I've been collecting your models since I first found your WWI ships. Please keep up the great work :D

I'm betting a lot of other folks like your work too, but hopefully they've just been busy with RL n such..

btw I will be doing a series of renders using your ship and plane models in a couple weeks or so, I'm working on getting better at portraits(hopefully) heh.
