Basic texturing - Help needed!

Support Materials and Textures

Hi all!

I’m really new to blender and have a bit of a problem. I’m desgining some ships for a game called Freelancer, but my problem is that I can’t really texture. I’ve developed a pretty solid unerstanding of modeling though. Everytime I do try and texture, the image comes out really strectched. Is there a tutorial of how to a void this?

Thanks, and sorry if I just coundn’t find it on my own.

Lots of texturing tutorials here http://www.blendercookie.com/category/all/tutorials/texturing/

if your textures are stretching, it is quite possibly your UV unwrap not correct… to give you something to try and focus on when selecting a tutorial :slight_smile:
Perhaps something akin to http://www.blendercookie.com/2010/03/02/unwrapping-a-female-character/
