PERFECT CUBE STRIPES!
WOO! I made them perfectly aligned along the outer corners, and they look nice!

I just realized I should have made the corners WHITE, not BLACK. Oh well, I can fix that whenever.
With this BRIGHT WHITE and BLACK contrast, from far away the cube goes VERY BRIGHT until you get in close, and it starts to fade back to normal. 
Nice job, can't wait to see more.
The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.
how is this sort of thing done? i mean, editing the textures on entities like that. can it be done with turrets and things as well. i'm fairly new to mapping, so i wouldnt know.
Really nice, VDude. I didn't actually color the corners in the yellow/black one, but ah well. Out of curiosity, what programs does everybody use for texturing? I use Paint.Net and (EXTREMELY rarely) GIMP, just because I'm too cheap to buy Photoshop.

I use photoshop since I got it from my school. It took a little while, but not too long.
Basically I'm still in the process of finishing up, but what I'm doing is cutting up the VTF into different parts, the big corner part, the little edge part, and each face of each part, too. That simplifies things SO much,
Haven't gotten to do a lot of work, but I've gotten more of it sectioned off.
The pen tool is SO powerful. I love it.
Resizable vector paths, yes please!

That's the one thing I wish Paint.Net had; vector-based capabilities. It would be soooo helpful at times to be able to change a line. Of course, you can do the same thing with a mess of layers, but it gets a bit crowded.

I used to never use the pen tool, but a few years ago it became one of my favorite tools. I've never quit using it since I've learned how AWESOME it is.
