Hi all.. been taking a bit of a hiatus from all rendering the last couple of weeks.  Am between quarters at school and just been enjoying some downtime spent with the wife and kiddos.  Looking forward to next quarters classes.. 2nd yr algebra, architectural drafting 1(pencil) and CAD1 (autocad).  Finally getting the hang of blacksmith 3d.  Have been doing a bit of texture work with it that I'm a helluva lot more satisfied than with my previous photoshop-only attempts.  Here's the first of what I would consider a finished product.  Working on several textures, transparencies and patterns for OOT's Million Pearls Outfit.

Enjoy.  Have a happy new years everyone.  Will see you all in 2013.
