hey the threads are now up and running.. feel free to post your updates in there.. all of them, and no where else then in your designated thread . Other than that, the texturing bit can be as small as adding a blinn or lambert to the model, in certain spots... example would be "dark red for shell of crab, light red/dark pink for skin color, black eyes etc)... it can be really basic stuff if you dont have the time.. just dont leave it grey or one solid color.. unless the thing itself is only one color.. which is rare.
