on a completely different note, I've been improving my texturing/material skills. Check out my

I envy you. How do you get that good. What are your techniques and what do you look for when creating models.
I understand what any tutorials about modleing can teach me on the intrernet but I dont have the technique down to create a professional looking model. What are you doing thats different than what im doing? Are you useing spline modeling, box modeling, or vertex? How do you get good textures? How many hours are you spending into each model you make?
