I know a few basic things but that's all. I knew I could do projection maps and since a dvd is flat surfaces I would start with that. I'm going to do a round surface next. maybe a ball. I gotta go take care of some things but I'll be back later with my attemp.
Also, the little texturing I did in the past was not really the right way. basically I applied texture to object and adjusted the texture. Now I'm learning to adjust UV's and take snapshot, then import into gimp and apply pictures as texture. Much better control.
Eventually I want to be able to uv map anything. And I still need to use hypershade to create textures which I know almost nothing about hypershade. But I will.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
