The ship would make a great cursor. It may have to be a 'bit' smaller though.

Ty Uvah I used ZBrush can´t afford 3ds Max
+ I think they look cute like toys from an (Überraschungsei Spielzeug) chocolate toy
Thank you Wizzard1956- I dont know never made a cursor before dont know what the actuall size is i think i will finish some more icons first and then if i feel for it i might try but dont hold me to it ( im lazy )

currently im working on the base mesh of the curiosity icon it is very early progress no AA and low res poly count have made this in perspective view-had to replace the wheels ( the original wheels ) because they will look like circles if this is scaled to icon size so i made my own...Had to read a bit to figure out why it has no springs visable turns out the grey things on top of the frame base are the springs and it is integraded in the whole system ( that is quite amazing ) the whole thing is a tech monster
I wont have to worry about making cables since they wont be visable in 265x256...
The top is still missing quite a bit decals or all of them... will post more if im further in progress

These are great indeed. I would say a good sized cursor would be 48px * 48px
Although some go up to 128px * 128px (these are very large)

I got curious and binged zbrush. In looking over the list of dl sites one caught my eye, I won't put the url here because it has warez in it. Some very high end software, CS 6 included, are offered pre-configured so that you need no license for the full version. How do they get away with this? Its not something I want any part of because how do you know you can trust a site like that. You may dl something and get hit with some unwanted surprises or a really messed up program that you think might be good but could be screwed up in ways that make it less than useless. OT
Back on topic.......I have a couple of programs that can do that. All I got to do is learn how to use them. lol

@ Uvah
Pixologic ZBrush Homepage... link you will see why i said this is low end of what is possible
I recommend to stay away from those sites they only cause trouble and tears.
I think one of the grey blackish yets is 48px or was it 96 well something in beetween

@ roloccolor - Believe me I have no interest in those sites. I'll only deal with those I know I can trust and that includes people too. Been here 6 years and have never been steered wrong. Thanks though for the homepage.

When its done maybe you should send it to NASA. Another rover might save them some bucks.

These are really good roloccolor. What program are you using to make them?
