Hi. I am doing a little testing on getting veins to look like they're popping out, and this is what I got. I did it very quickly using a bump map, and I know they are not in the correct place. (I will use some body-building pics or whatever for that.) Mainly, for certain buff characters, especially one that I've been working on for a while, I want to give them a "tougher" look. I'm sure someone has probably been doing this, but I didn't go looking yet, and besides, I've been wanting to do this myself for a long time, and just got around to trying it again. Please give me some feedback, because if it seemed worthwhile, I would like to give Mike and Vicky some of this, if other people are interested.

I have been working on a vampire character (which will soon be in the marketplace) which has slightly raised veins. The best way I found to create veins is using the "Xenofex" plugin "lightening" effect. It makes some amazing vein patterns. Rawn

oh...sorry...I should have said to use that plugin in "Photoshop" me bad Rawn
