Backgrounds continued....

Well a few backgrounds down, and about a million more to go. I have decided to paint the tree in all of them first and save the town for last. This should be interesting. Steph has done a test with the bigger background and found that it needs to be extended for it to work properly, which shouldn't be too much trouble. Best crack on.

Little Helper Textures Update

Seeing as I haven't done an update for the Little Helper project for a while I thought I would put up a few examples of the textures I have painted for it. Hopefully they are nearly all done now. Lucy and Jenny have applied the textures and created bump maps from them. I painted them all using Photoshop, ontop of the UV maps Jenny and Lucy provided me with.

Sally will be furry, so all I needed to do was paint the different shades that the fur will eventually be. This meant that the joins in the UVs didn't have to be absolutely perfect.

Tweaks for backgrounds

I have ajusted this background to fit the new layout and added a few tings that Kathy has suggested. I wasnt quite sure what colour to be the moss as there are so man different types. I can still change it if we decide its a little bright, but this one definatly looks better with the grass 'livened up' a little. Nearly got the final look. Now to apply it to all the ofter backgrounds.

Re-designing the TREE

It was suggested to me by both Kathy and Derek that I change the style of the tree slightly to be more realistic. I had a little play around and this is where I have got. I could probably include even more colours, but I shall keep tweaking it.
