Well hate to be the bringer of bad news but texturing and modelling are the same in this respect. Everyone will have their own style and way of doing things this come from appling it to the model as well as making them. Getting them onto the model is your choice on how to do it no one does it exactly the same and they can be done in as many or as few textures you wish to make it.

As for doing them PhotoShop is the upper end program, WZ, me, and others use PaintShop Pro because it was affordable to us. The only suggestion I can give you on this one is do it all in layers. Make a background first and apply details over the back ground. Make the lighted areas its own layer, that way all you have to do is apply that layer to a black background and you have a instant light map.

Hey Jake,
I forgot to tell ya last night, the .mod import & export plugins won't work with Max 6 or 7.
Max 5 was the last version made.

Plus, I havn't been able to open any max files I created in Max6, With Max 5 or 4. ( If there is a way, I don't know about it yet) So there for you won't beable to export to .mod

Is goes for using  max 5 to max 4 also.

I'm off to Cali again, holler at ya when I get back
