Hey omegaend, Why don't you try watching Mike's free tutoral on normal mapping a brick wall. https://simplymaya.com/autodesk-maya-...=156&sub_cat=0 It's really good and goes over a lot of different things, it covers a bit on UV tools as well so it might be enough to get you started and giving you a bit more of a clue. We have a lot of texture painting in photoshop as well, it's in the shading and texturing section. Hope it turns out well, Nilla
