I'm a real newb at this. What do you mean by a layered texture and how do I create one? Also how do you use alpha maps or projection maps? If you can explain step by step what you do, I'll be able to understand better. What I've done so far is to apply the texture to the character. I've created a bump map (in photoshop) for the horns of the head and a bump map for the arms and a bump map for some spots on his belly. But I don't know how to use alpha maps or projection maps. I've come this far in my learning, so if you can shed some more light on how to do it, that would be great!

Thanx,
