wow, i wasn’t even aware the he also made this, but the ends on his are wrong, they look more like the way i made them, but it is still nice.
THIEF!!!
lol… j/k its looking nice
i also made an unexploded t-virues if u wanna c it http://www.geocities.com/hmnishawn/tviri.jpg i really made it to test out the z-blur plugin
here is another view http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/pontiac/tvtubes.html i added a background and tweaked the textures a little, also attempted to use zblur plugin but i can get it to just blur parts of the scene, it blurs the whold image, im using the ipo’s to set it, i may be doing somthing wrong…but i just blurred in photoshop.
