Now for my purposes, I will be throwing in a few wood knots and applying the texture to a dueling pistol model I umapped.. to do that you can isolate the pieces of the template you need with the pentool and convert your path to selection. Taking the wood texture I will define a pattern in photoshop by making a selection from the texture and hitting define pattern under the Edit menu. From there I will go back to the path I made, convert it to select and then use the fill tool again with pattern selected and at 100% opacity. I will try and post the results of the pistol later. Hope this helps Tartan :) "They say that Time is the fire in which we burn." "Time may be the fire in which You burn but I have insurance;)"
