Look, I need this model textured nicely, I heard you mark seems to texture the model, go in gimp or photoshop and paint in the areas of the image then export out open in blender and texture. But i am not sure how you do that, How do you mark seems and when your done in Gimp do you just export it out to a png. or Gif. or JPEG. then open it up back in the same Blend. File and u=Unwrap? Not Sure…
Assuming you are using blender 2.5x
Mark seams, unwrap in blender, export the uv layout, paint onto the texture, import texture back into blender, apply texture to your models material.

Thank you, Awesome can’t wait to make awesome movies!
I cranked out 9 video tutorials on texturing a cartoonish fish. You can find the post and links to the videos in this thread. I think they pretty much cover most aspects of texturing…
