Quote - I'm quite liking 256... just need to figure out how to do certain things like materials and stuff, but there's a really good tutorial site here.

I love that site, and have tried a couple of the tutorials.  In fact, I recently finished the PDF tutorial to model a castle.  It's the first model I've completed using ver. 2.54.

Robin, if you haven't checked out that particular tutorial, there's a second part that deals with texturing the castle, and he goes into quite a bit of detail on how to set the texture on each section depending on whether it's supposed to tile vertically or horiztonally, etc.  It might give you some ideas on how to work with materials, even though it's specific to that particular model.

The only thing missing is bump mapping, which he doesn't go into.  I haven't figured out how to add a bump map in 2.54, though I can always do so when I import the castle and texture into my rendering software.
