Ok, 1: How do I "reuse" a part of a texture on the same model? Let's say I got a model that looks the same on both sides and I want to opnly make a texture to one side and use it on bothh sides to spare texture space and get better resolution, how do I do that?

And number 2: Let's say I got a model, and I want to use two texture sheets on it, like one for the body and one for the head, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your 3d software. Which are you using?

1. Delete half the model that's not textured, then mirror-copy the other half. Adjust UVs to fix logos or other things you don't want mirrored.

2. In 3ds max multiple textures are applied with a Multi/Sub-Object material and material IDs. Help file and tutorials will show the way.

I'm using 3ds max 5, but you kind of solved my problems anyway :) thanks
