Most here would agree that is impossible to become one with light, you are not alone as I do too.
For the texture on the hand i combined loads of procedurals with new ramp shaders (THANK YOU Ton… I envy your coding skills… would you mind trying on my brainscanner?)
Amazing texturing, BlackMage! What options did you use for the ramps´ inputs? Could we take a look at the Blend? I´d love to feature the image and a short how-to on my site, if that´s ok with you.
