Alright, its coming along and now i have started the middle texture. I will be doing the bottom next, so that it doesnt look so weird. As of the moment I notice that stretch is going to be a problem on that cliff thing.. I will fix that later, or cover it with a bush user added image

. Hopefully I should be able to get this thing generally textured in the next hour or so and then I will be able to start adding in details to it, along with shrubs and the fire etc user added image

Alright, heres the bottom... now the top bit have those sides..and they are a bit bigger than the main texture maps.. just so that i could put more detail in.. anyways, it may take a while to get that to align properly... but this is what i have so far user added image

Alright, now i have the whole things base done.. now its time to fool around and try to make things flow :O. Of course the place I chose to focus in on was a area with lots of cuts (stupidme)... anyways.. here is a render of the dino on the platform.. now imagine a fire there, with shrubs around and other things user added image

. I hope I can get it all done tonight.. I have to take a short break now.. but will be back on soon! C&C welcome.

BTW, pure.. heheh.. you were right.. i had a HUGE texture map.. and it looks super clear through photoshop.. but it is kinda blurry up close.. I may try to fix that with some sharpens and stuff user added image
