create the materials, map the textures to them, and assign them to the objects or individual faces you want.

Body unwrapped, head to go, and maybe some tweaking of the body UV's if I'm up to it... That'll have to wait till tomorrow though... C&C?

I think the model has turned out pretty good, so let's see if the textures can finish the job... Did a little quick color layout, still need to unwrap the head though...

And don't worry, I'm pretty sure the skirt won't be purple when it's finished! user added image
