    Hey Cuz. I was born in the year of the bush-pig which makes us mortal enemies, but I'm willing to overlook that if you are. Welcome!!!!

    LOL - You were born in Australia which makes us mortal enemies!! Fortunately for us I spend most of my time in a fantasy world and don't pay much attention to traditional real world rivalries so I'm most willing to overlook that - besides we're both on the same hemisphere! Thanks for the welcome mate.

    Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I've been checking out the tutorials today and I'll certainly be looking for feedback on my WIPs as I figure I'm probably gonna need a few maps.
    Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

    @ wzrd Seriously though, I love NZ. I visit all the time. Christchurch & Queenstown mostly. When I was a kid I had family there. Now I just go because it is such a cool place to visit, have adventures and enjoy the occasional Speights.

    Speights? Hey well we clearly speak the same language then! I live in Christchurch myself so perhaps we could catch-up for a cold one sometime?

    @Redrobes - thanks for the welcome and the kind words about my art - I'm guessing from the number of posts you've made here that you are one of the old boys of the forum? Re Lightwave - I have 9.5 on my machine but rarely use it. trueSpace is an odd and quirky program but it's 3d modelling interface is hard to beat once you get through the original learning curve. It's realtime rendering abilities are outstanding which provides a really nice modelling environment. The good news is that it's now free the bad news is that it's no longer under development.
    I tried Sketchup recently (I've tried most of the non-pro 3d apps now) and found it's got some really great functionality - but for me I still prefer tS. It's probably just a question of what you are used to.

    Oh yeah - I stuck a pin in your map, bottom left hand corner.

    @Steel General - wow, over 7000 posts - you must take this stuff pretty seriously! I checked out sme of your maps too - I like the style.

    You're English then, not a Maori... or a hobbit. Welcome to the Guild! I do a little 3D myself, mostly model in Nendo, then render in my old Raydream Studio, though I also own Cinema 4D. Still I do mostly 2D work these days. I mostly work with Xara Xtreme a vector drawing app for all my cartographic creations. Again, welcome!
