INSANE WORRIER :cool:

That Original 04 is class, Lin. Also, this: http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/BeltTest01.jpg A preliminary test render for the default strap texture on my "SvR Belt" prop that I will soon be making available. I'm working on the texture bits this week (it seems I may need to use somewhere between 4 and 6 textures across the model at the moment to get it done the way I want), and I should hopefully be finished with the first official pack-in texture by this weekend. If all goes well, I'll first make it (with plates) available here, then post it on Renderosity and/or ShareCG.

I forgot about posting these 2 renders here when I posted them in the Render Thread. a prelim render for a belt model I'm working on ("SvR Belt" with custom material zones and custom plates) in Poser 4 and a prelim render for my character Axl Evermore, testing some new duds out in Poser 8. http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/BeltTest3.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/AxlEvermore-1stRenderM4inP8.png

Just finished this last night (these days, it takes an average of 2 nights of work to finish a larger job like this) and thought I'd put it up on display: Bob Backlund's "Big Green" http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/BigGreen_lg.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/BigGreen.jpg A couple things need to be changed (I meant to use the Australian flag on the bottom-right inner, and that's certainly not Australia; plus, the belt-holding guy in the middle is totally not the right one, but it's the only one I had on me at the time), but this is a pretty good 1st version in my opinion.

I figured if anybody else wanted to take a crack at the Original 10 Belts, here they are: http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt01.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt02.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt03.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt04.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt05.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt06.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt07.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt08.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/originalbelt09.jpg That's odd, I thought there were 10. Here are larger pics of some that I had on my hard drive. http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/Original02.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/Original06.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/Original08.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Miscellaneous/Original09.jpg

I think making the "Key City" text black (or even red, like I use, or blue) would also make it pop after the shrinkage. As it is, you can't be entirely sure what the text says if you're viewing it on higher-res monitors.

Plus, you can take brushes and cool-looking stuff and warp them by making them a stroke for a line. Ever seen a thick-ass leaf get warped in a circular way and then laugh? Illustrator. It's what the pros use, you know. ;D

DUDE...AWESOME!!! :)

I've been fixing the filenames more and more lately just to combat filename overwriting (a problem I have as well when getting other people's graphics more than occasionally). Yup, Fireworks (I use Alien Skin: Chrome, so it's kinda cheating--but it still works). I could basically be considered the FW expert for belts here (ReapeR and Payne for PhotoShop, Linsolv for InkScape, etc.) unless someone else more experienced and well-versed wants to step up?

Forgot to upload/post this older render when I made it: IWGP 3rd Style WORLD Title http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/IWGP3rd.jpg

I'm attempting to make my own versions of the 10 Default belts that come with the game. Let me know what you think. Here's 3 of them: Original Belt 02 http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/Original02.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/OriginalBelt02.jpg Original Belt 08 http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/Original08.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/OriginalBelt08.jpg Original Belt 09 http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/Original09.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/OriginalBelt09.jpg The next few will be done when I get their source pics.

My newest renders/belts Fire Pro Club Person Pack Tag Titles (1st and 2nd Gen) http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/FPCPPTagTeam1st.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/FPC-PPTagTeam1st.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/FPCPPTagTeam2nd.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/FPC-PPTagTeam2nd.jpg Shin-Toukon Puroresu (based off NJPW/IWGP 2nd) for the NWA Domination Mod http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/STPHeavyweight.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/STPHeavyweight.jpg

I'll put a few more requests here, just cuz I like testing you. for my NWA Domination TEW 2005 mod, I need to lessen my own workload by another few belts, so I need 3 belts for the fed "NWA: Joshi Power" (I haven't made a logo yet, but if you need to make a placeholder logo, use the font "Electroharmonix") NWA: Joshi Power (aka NWA-JP) 1 - World Women's Championship (Singles) - base it off of Kendo Ka Shin's 2nd IWGP Jr. belt, on black leather, with the middle replaced by NWA-JP logo text and/or victorious woman http://www.davemillicanbelts.com/kashin.htm 2 - Lovely Angels Championship (Tag) - base it off of the TNA Knockouts (singles) belt on white leather, replacing the TNA logo with the NWA-JP text and a pair of victorious women http://www.davemillicanbelts.com/TNAWomen101407.htm 3 - Devil Woman Championship (Hardcore/Garbage) - base it off of this JCW belt, but with the NWA-JP logo text and a woman (probably use a Gina Carano fight/promo pic) punching, on white leather http://www.davemillicanbelts.com/JCW_World.htm

Don't worry, you got what you could out of the tutorials (if you used them, that is). Now, what you do is to develop your own method of shining (ReapeR uses Gradient Overlays, I use Alien Skin:Chrome AND Gradient Overlays, Payne uses "natural" shining like in the tutes, Linsolv uses gradients in Inkscape, etc.) and bringing out natural texture in your leather and the details in your plates. Soon your belts will come out looking as awesome as ours!

See? MUCH better than the "dollar signs on a chain of dollar signs" classic belt. This one looks like it would hold up to close scrutiny for at the very least as long as a TRB-made belt would.

Hell, the only thing stopping ME from making a version myself is the fact that the actual belt does not hold up to close scrutiny for more than 3 seconds. I mean come on, 3 bejeweled filled-in dollar signs on top of a non-descript hex-shaped gold plate, and instead of a strap just a chain of gold dollar signs attempting to hearken back to the classic Lou Thesz leatherless belt? Let's face it, while we all think the Million Dollar Championship is super cool, it's like the Ultimate Warrior of belts--don't think about it too much or your brain will explode.

Another one for my NWA Domination Mod, the NWA-UK Title: http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/NWAUK.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/NWA-UKHeavyweight.jpg

I made these for my NWA Domination mod, for NWA Empire City (WWE). European Title http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/NWA-EC_European.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/NWA-ECEuropean.jpg Tommy Dreamer's Hardcore Title (his license plate on top of a Figs Inc European Title) http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/NWA-EC_TDHC.jpghttp://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/NWA-ECHardcoreTommyDreamer.jpg

I made this belt last night in Photoshop using ReapeR's styles. I didn't bother to save a render since...you know...it's so crappy looking. http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Generic-Eagle-Title.jpg

Top Rope Belts made an Homage version of that belt. It looks pretty ace.

Bro...I think I love you! :cool::) I myself wasn't sure these belts could get TEW'd as well as they did...but you effing DID it! AH, I love them! MM! Ooh, watch this, all 3 together...! http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/jhall2129/TEW%202010/AJPWTripleCrown_1.jpghttp://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/jhall2129/TEW%202010/AJPWTripleCrown_2-1.jpghttp://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/jhall2129/TEW%202010/AJPWTripleCrown_3.jpg How'd you do your chains on the first 2?

I figured I'd bring this back to life with the first few renders of belts I made for my own version (on TEW 2005) of the NWA Domination 2003 mod for EWR 4.2. NWA World Heavyweight Championship (Domed Globe style) http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/DomedGlobe.jpg NWA Strong Style Championship and NWA-SS Total Wrestling Championship (RoH) http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/NWAStrongStyle.jpg http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/FullMetalitia/Belts/Renders/NWASSTotalWrestling.jpg

I know which belts I want. The 3 belts of the AJPW Triple Crown, but with no logos. Here are some reference pics; they're the best I could find, considering the internet. http://i39.tinypic.com/2iapu9x.jpg (the top row of 3 on this belt sheet) http://i41.tinypic.com/15hk7j6.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/1zl8081.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/rcobrs.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/mu7j7q.jpg http://ca1n.c.yimg.jp/sports/sn2005021700133800006694m/sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/pict/200502/im00006694.jpg (when Tajiri stole it from Minoru Suzuki) http://i44.tinypic.com/29f2k1z.jpg Fire Pro versions (not colored correctly) http://i40.tinypic.com/6ofkug.png http://i43.tinypic.com/11t63pz.png http://i39.tinypic.com/mcxmix.png
