Hey Stormi, That's the ticket!!! Photoshop is what I use for making textures too (since I can't afford a copy of Deep Paint 3D & Texture Tools). You'll be amazed just how much Photoshop alone can do. What I often do is put a layer of the template on top of what I'm trying to texture then either adjust the opacity or delete all the white parts of the template so I just get the lines. I then go through a series of trial and error texturing where I put the texture along with the template and render it onto the model so I see exactly where the grid falls. Then it's all about your normal Photoshop skills... the key is masking layers and gaussian blurs. I'll try to put a tutorial together if anyone's interested. Good luck. If you have any specific questions, please let me know. visualkinetics
