That looks pretty cool Rich.
Thanks John,
I bought a monopod and made a quick coupler. I went to the beach to photograph pelicans. Guess they weren't hungry, and didn't see any. I thought the coupler was too lose, but it did work. Rich
Neat shots Rich...

Hi Rich......this is cool looking design. And aren't you one of the bug boys on this site? I'm new here; and brand smacking new to computer graphics. What program/s did you use? And for the top one is that done in 3D or did you use a non-3D with some type of 'button' effect? twidder
Twidder,
That is just an illusion and this is 2D. It is an application of reflection maps in Expression. Expression can handle maps with transparency. This was something I discovered some time ago. You can use maps in other applications, but not transparent maps. I had a problem working in Expression until I discovered a way to enable map transparency on screen. There is a set of bug wings I merged in Xara, and colored in Expression. So, this is an exceptionally easy of coloring objects. Rich
OK. Well, I'm afraid for a wee novice that this was a lot of information for me. (talk about feeling in over your head--but then this is how I seem to learn best by just jumping in and getting hands on)
You talk about maps and Expression. Expression (assuming?) is a program I've never heard of. Maps--are you speaking literally here, or is 'maps' a type of effect (the new images you included in your answer--the globe certainly looks like that and might imply that you're speaking of maps in the literal sense). And most interestingly you talk about transparency. This is a feature that I am currently most interested in. I'm using PSP 7.4 Transparency can be a difficult feature to save. If you haven't yet seen my uploaded Floral3 you might take a look at that and see what I've worked with so far just really using basic stuff, I think. This upload is actually my first non-practise work.
Any more explanations are welcome.
