Cool Atolm design (as always). Great execution. It does beg for a higher poly version, but for game resolutions this is great.

cool

I have thought about it.  what technique works the best in this regard?  i was thinking that you would extrude the relevent edges and then decrease there size somewhat to effect the chamfer.

altom: two questions for you...1.  did you have a name in mine for this lady; 2.  are your designs posted up somewhere.  i used to have a link to site but they don't seem to be there any longer.

now for the texturing...grrrr...maybe raven should make us a texturing tutorial and teach us all some of his skills.   ;)

well you could select all the pertant edges you want to chamfer and do it that way.  If your mesh is all quads it is actually very clean

I'm not afraid, you have single handedly tackled some of my more advanced ideas, and that is rather daring :)
