1: Can't help you. Need photoshop for that. If i knew my ships would look better.

2: Look under the tutorial forums. There's a thread there that tells you what to do to apply textures and make MAT files.

Hey Maverick, you replied to my thread.. so i'll reply to yours

1) Making new textures from scratch: just draw a pretty little picture. although i find it easier to start with a "base" texture that i've "borrowed" off an online texture collection.

2) Applying specific textures to specific bits: Just use milkshape! It has a little texture location thingy that's ugly, but works well enough. Just have to split the model into little bits to make applying the texture less insanely difficult. Once MSN Messenger starts working again i can tell you more. And just to prove that i can apply textures accurately... look at the dev pictures of the new cargo transporter (to all those other than Maverick: He never believes me..)

As you can see from that piccy, i've yet to master the finer points of actually being any good at texturing

Have a nice day.
