Possibly I should write tuts on how "not to do things" ... I seem to be pretty good at doing things wrong ... I rather expect one of my 'folllowers' to jump in here and say "that's not how" you do this, do it this way ... and fine. Please leave a tut trail of your own for us to follow ... the more the merrier!
Peace.

Here's my first selection of images ... some very basic "how to" for uvmapping FOR to create some decent texture results on the final product.

I use Hexagon [aka Hexie] and Daz Studio and Corel's Paint Shop Pro X2. May not be the straightest thinking track to follow ... but it works for me ... if anything is of any help to somebody else, WONDERFUL. If not, have a good laugh and enjoy your day.

100kb!!! .... okay, I'll upload it at sharecg.com
[it's 1.05mb]

And here's the link!

:-) sharecg.com is a good site!

I had checked the tut section, didn't see one for Hexagon, it would be the same file so feel free to start a Hexagon tut section with it!

For tut2 ... for anybody needing some ST fonts, here's one place:

For "collectors" ... do not install every font you ever find! They are "programs" and load at startup. Can be kept in another folder and installed as needed ;-)
