I guess thats me :D
Well i'd be glad to give you a hand
Alright so first of all, if you are making something thats already designed (ie. DMR) your best off using the original textures , but in order to do that, the outline of your model must match as close as possible to the original. For example, the size and proportions have to be similar but you do not have to include details. Heres an image to work off of If i can get a download of your model i can fully explain, but for the curves question, you can texture each edge manually but in order to do that you must unsoften the edges. To do this you have to select the "eraser" tool and hold down ctrl + shift (idk how if you have a mac) while you drag the tool across the soften/curved edge. Another way is to go to "view" and then "hidden geometry" . Once you've done that you can position every texture independently. Simply use the image as a texture and use the paint-bucket to fill each one individually. After you've done that you can reposition the texture to make it fit by right clicking on the face that you've just painted and clicking "texture" then "position". Play around with it so that your satisfied then right click and "done". Make sure that "texture > Projected" is not selected. Once your done with all the textures, just soften them again with "eraser + ctrl key". Hope that helped. There is a different faster but less accurate method but it is very difficult to explain. If you can send me your model to [email]unlimitedguy2@hotmail.com[/email] I could help much much better, i can also render it for you.
Cheers
thanks for the offer.
but I have found a way to texture it as I said in a previous post. it may not be the simplest but I'm happy with the results.
I also have SU Podium for rendering. it's working well for my usage.
about putting the whole render pic onto it. I dont think it would work well. because my model is based on fantasy and a simple picture I had when a thunderstorm killed my internet for a few day's
I'll email it to you anyway...if you still want it or need something to do...
