Texturing for total n00bs?


#1

I am completely new to 3ds Max (3d software in general for that matter) and I want to figure out how to texture; how to make uvw maps and what not. I’ve already tried 3dtotal.com’s tuts, but they don’t go into detail AT ALL on how to make the the maps.

please help, any help would be greatly appreciated.
