works with ANY size juss change it to 500 let the other box auto config and it will hav exactly the same quality

Hey everyone. OK so I want to learn texturing. I never textured anything before so please bare with me and HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. I suck at it but i really want to learn it because it can make a model look amazing. Anyways, heres what I have so far. Im not keeping those textures because they are poor and plus, I have to finish the model. This my first time really touching photoshop or texturing so i dont know the settings yet. Anyways, the body i realized has a horrible mesh. haha back then it looked nice but as i got better im seeing how bad it really is so im retweeking it and then off to textring. does anyone also have uv editor shortcuts that can help because trying to flatten out the eye was a BI**H lol it sucked. i spent like 3 hours on it and im not even gon use it. anyways enough talk

ok So im done texturing for now becaause i want to do the whole model and my uv map suxs. Look at it, its a bit streched so ill redo it when i do the whole body.

What do you guys think I should do

1) keep the 2 legs or go 4 legs.

2) Accessories (if any, what should i add to the body or head for accessories)

3) tail, should it be pointed or with a spike

4) anything else just please post and ill try to work on it

please reply because im in a delima and im curious as to what ppl would rather see. i wanna build somehting nice
