For you...
Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate (but can be difficult, especially if you're new to everything 3d, I'm not so good at explaining stuff
)Note: this tutorial requires you to already know the basics of modeling as well as decent know-how in GIMP/Photoshop (I used GIMP in this tutorial but the techniques can easily be replicated in Photoshop). You can skip through parts you know already.
Programs required: 3d Studio Max (9 preferably or higher), GIMP
Description: This tutorial will teach you how to unwrap and texture a simple box for game resources. The end result should be a metal crate. It's rather complicated, but don't be daunted, practice makes perfect.
Believe it or not, I've already tried to simplify most of the steps here. It's usually much more complicated than this. So it's recommended you do everything to a T at first try, then experiment with variations on your own later. What's more important is that you understood WHY I did the things I did, rather than HOW.Visit this link to read it: How to unwrap and texture a box
EDIT: Fixed the link. I put a : instead of a ", go figure.
