tnx.

Its basically a 3d model projected on a 2d surface. all the different stuff on there is different surfaces of a 3d object the modeler has chosen to be there, so when a texture is applied the 3d model will put the color of that position on that surface of the model. Its a bit hard to explain, but I have a modeling video tutorial you can watch some bits of to know exactly what its about, but its a pretty big download.

Well if you could upload it then that would be great.
yeh kind of still confused on how you apply those textures.

Hmm alright.

here is the link to the part about unwrapping and texturing:

If you want to learn it quickly I recommend watching the first half or so of "07 unwrapping.wmv" the last ~10 min of "08 unwrapping.wmv", the start of "09 texturing.wmv".. if you want some good tips on skinning weapons, then this guy is pretty damn good, so I recommend watching some bits of the texturing videos.

The only guy(s) I know thats better is Pride and [R-CON]Shifty.

tnx dude.

Besides, if you are good at it I'm sure a lot of the community mods have some assignments for you.

tnx again man.

I have done a LOT of work in photoshop, but I can say without any BS that texturing is one of the most challanging things I've tried so far. Maybe its becaues I cant be as creative as I sometimes are when I mess around, or maybe its because I have to draw within the lines and actually make something thats supposed to look like something.

well you ahve to start from somewhere, and i got a lot of road to do.
