fair enough... Mari is supposed to be pretty good, i've not used it but, would suggest that unless you have a pirate copy, you probably wont master it in the free trial period. I still do most of my texturing in nuke or photoshop. i generally get given textures which only need touching up, so i don't paint them from scratch. i guess its all a big learning experience. I guess you will know what to do for your next model.
