Title: Texturing in Blender - videos
Post by: k7g on May 12, 2013, 06:17:10 pm: Hello fellow modders!
I create some videos that show how to export a model from google sketchup to blender and how to texture it.

The first video was created simply to show how to add multi-able textures to a single object (fighters etc.).
The second video, which i yet to make, will show you how to do the same thing, but for a captial ship or a bomber with turrets.

So, without further delays, heres the first video:

At long last, here is the second video!

I would like to give my thanks to ShadowWolf_IH for his tutorial here on the forums (and to the ones that he mentions :D). These are not to replace his, but more a visual guide on how to texture in blender. So please, visit his post when you have a chance.

also, i would make it a sticky if i know how (maybe a moderator thing?), but i don't mind if does not become a sticky, i'm hopeful that people can learn to texture and make their dreams come true! :pimp:
