Icon creating tutorial

[Trikeboy]

As per the front page, it seems people aren't adding icons and may not know how.  I have thrown a little tutorial together using Blender and Paint.net.  The process is simple and once you are used to it, you can have both icons done in under three minutes.  Below, I have attached three files, a large icon sized picture, a small icon sized picture and the tutorial.  Click on them to download them.  If you have any questions, ask me here or pm.

How do you get the lighting right?

Ahhh, forgot the lighting. I set my textures to shadeless in Blender when doing my icons. That way there is no need to mess around with lighting for a catalogue pic. For a simple icon, there is no need to mess around with lighting.

The tutorial in the first post has been edited with that step added.
