This is slightly off topic, not being directly related to EV, but here goes anyway.
I am rather new to 3D Modelling and I am attempting to create bunch of ships, and while I have created several quite nice ship models, I'm not really sure on how to make decent textures. All I have is basic metal textures, and they create rather bland-looking ships. My attempt to make a metal-panels texture in Photoshop resulted in a ship which appeared to be covered in shingles .
Is there anyone who 1) Could give me some texturing hints. 2) Knows where I could get some decent textures. or 3) Has some textures they would be willing to donate to a novice?
Thanks in advance.
