Updating the header again!

Here I go again...

In this updated header, I added a picture of myself into the header using the Blender node editor.













Well, there it is. What do you think? I'm not sure if I got my shadow quite right.
In case you're wondering how I made the shadow, I first composited the picture of me (with the blender node editor, of course.) into the old header, then I loaded that image into blender as a background image in the camera view. I used that background image to model a "dummy" of me. Somewhere, in the material buttons there is a button that enables the object to cast shadows, but not be rendered. After I rendered the header with my shadow, I composited me back into the new header. If you have any questions about this, or if I confused you with my babblings, don't hesitate to comment, or email me.

hey,
I have not really seen too many blogs like mine or yours, and mine isnt really up to date at all :(

You did notice that I had some stuff for sale and free stuff. Well, if you want to know, since november 2005 I have made 51.50 in royalties (equating to 103 in sales) also keep in mind that alot of the pay stuff i put up is more recent and is cheap because im nice like that. I have yet to get the money because for that amount its not worth filling out all the tax forms (from canada). I have been busy lately so i havent been able to do much, but i hope to do more soon. The main thing with selling models is to sell them in the proper formats (because nobody likes .blend files).

Anyway, happy hunting, and dont be afraid to ask any more questions.

Thanks for your answers! I don't think I'll go with turbosquid. I don't like the "atmosphere". Maybe I'll find somewhere else. I would like to earn a few extra dollars. :-)
