Wiley and DJ both create excellent mods with their own unique flavors. Come on, guys - let's not make things acrimonious by trying to say who does theirs better, or who does theirs this way or that way, and therefore you should do it this way or that way, yada yada.

DJ makes beautiful mods. Wiley makes beautiful mods. What more do you want?

maybe in a year or two, I can compare to DJ's current skill.

IMHO u already are at his level, you just have your own style :)

When (anybody) makes textures, there are different ways of going about it.  One way is not necessarily better than another, it just depends.

For example, You could have 1 large texture map, or several smaller ones.  If you want animated maps, you're going to have several small textures just for that.  So there isn't really an order of progression.

Anyhow, looking forward to seeing the update.

Well said. It is not about how one does the textures (kinda does, number of textures and size do take effect), but it is all about the final look and product.

Nice to know. :)

And here's a slight texture update. It's still a WIP- many things are not yet textured, but the coloring is close to final. The colors are based from the physical studio model, and the speculars I will add later will make them look grayer. Enjoy! :)

EDIT- Forgot a row of windows between the escape pods. :funny I'll fix that.

You masked off that aztec for a physical model once, didn't you Wiley? This must be a walk in the park by comparison.

Yep. Both have about the same level of difficulty.
