[quote who="Burntstrobe" reply="6" id="1878551"] I was wondering if you knew a good place to go to read a tutorial on modeling, or texturing. I am very skilled with photoshop, so I figured learning how to create textures woulnd't be that hard for me, I just don't have the free time to search the web and read through countless forums to find little notes here and there. I haven't touched maya in about 3 years, but when I was using it I was pretty decent and doing some architecture modelin
