Just what I was looking for, thanks Jani

wow... u know I found this tutorial last night, but I thought this is not what you were looking for, so I didn't post it.

But after seeing some replies, I thought I should tell you about it... and luckily this is what you wanted

Glad to help you out.

When designing just use the zoom button to help. If you work up close and up front its easier to do things.

consider also the lighting effects that you use to make your design more realistic
