Oh this one I'm gonna join!
Seems like the concept is not an existing UAV, though it resembles Predator or Reaper UAV's most.

[varoondextor]

HEY i was awaited for this"
It should definitely resemble one but better if it looks different in its own way!"
A new Unmanned Arial Vehicle now"

I just thought of it while watching transformers revenge of the fallen.

[Chaosquack]

Yay! Definatley in.

[edit] Does anyone have a link to info about gloss maps? Not sure how to make one as I just learned they were being used in games.

[Kaleb3d]

Damn! I want join this one so bad, but I really don't think I have time

[lloyd]

yeah whats this gloss map you speek of? also can people use a detail map?

[xpressionist]

Why use gloss maps to help control what area have specular, when you can just paint a specular map with the areas you want specular in? Or am I missing a bigger picture?
Not sure if I have time but will definitely try to get onto this challenge

[Kaskad]

Gloss maps control the falloff of the specular highlight, specular maps control its intensity

[oalexis]

I'm also going to try and get in on this challenge
