Hey Rage, that's awesome man...

Are you building these backgrounds in Maya?
I still can't figure out that resize thing, how do you do it?

What do you think of a more gradual fade between the background and the lines on the right? Might be cool to have like a cloudish fade between them...

Great work.. totally blew me out user added image


God Bless you and 3D

Thanks Kev! lemme know when you think of something...
Can't find any "meaner" bg's at the moment tho... sorry..

GCastro, the backgrounds are stock imagery I've had lying around that I've just color-corrected, and composited/color-matched the dog into whatever BG I plop in there...
The shadows are painted by hand as I'm here at work with no access to good roto/shadow software....

Also, the reason for the harsh fade is to make it easier for a sizing-split for those with larger/smaller monitor resolutionsuser added image

S3DW logo thingy psd...

Here is a small PS 7 .psd of my S3DW logo thingy for those who have asked about it...

It uses fonts that I don't have access to at the moment, so you might have to just rasterize the layers...
