Open Sourcing

he floor material has been a source of obsession for me for a couple days now. I think I'm almost at the point of calling it complete though. I added some more dirt and some tire skid marks. Take a look, I'm quite happy with it now. I think that it gives the overall scene a more complete look (you may have to enlarge it just to see the detail that I'm talking about).

I also got the chance a couple days ago to play with making a star field in Blender. The "stars" button in the render buttons in Blender doesn't really give a convincing night sky image, so I searched for some ways to create on from scratch. I ended up with an excellent technique to create a star field and was able to make some pretty good images. I think that this, along with a convincing moon (which I'm still working on), should make for a really dramatic night sky. What do you think?
