Quote - OH... well, you never know when you might need to make your own templates in any case.

looks like I just wasted my and your time... Problems with aligning the pattern of the textures with the seams?

"but I know if I want to make more detailed textures I'm going to need templates, so can anyone give me some advice on this?"

See why I'm confused? You stated that you needed templates and now you state that you have templates.

I think what your really asking about is procedural work rather than texture painting...

Sorry, that might have been a bit unclear! I don't know what you call textures that only cover the template area (ones that aren't just a solid square of texture.) Anyway, that's what I meant, as you've probably figured out by now! :S
