Quote - I've posted how to save textures in Carrara in the link, have a look (its about halfway down, by me).

For UV mapping have a look here for some useful info:

Materials (Wings) are created in the Outliner window - select default, duplicate & edit it (colours), apply to selection (face selection on your model)

Ah, must have missed this when I posted my last yell for help.

I've finally managed to save a shader that I made myself - so thanks for that.

On UVing, I did PeterChov's barrel tut some long time ago, and it's fine for if you want to make his barrel, you can't use it to do your own barrel because for that you need to know how to create such a texture, and that's PhotoShop.  I've also seen Drac's UVing but I'll take another look at it, maybe I've become more intelligent since I last looked at it.... 

That last bit on Drac's tut, where Pauljs75 mentions being able to use both UV and procedurals on the same UV map - SOUNDS great, but I don't really follow it too well.

And the last one: PagodaProductions, no longer exists - it 404's on you.

If you look at the ship I sent you, you'll see that I already put materials/colours onto the model in Wings, but I didn't use the Outliner window.  I used, right click/then I right clicked on .Material. called it something appropriate, picked a colour, and done!

All those colours appear in the Outliner window, but I didn't do anything to them there.
