I'm in need of assistance. I need to know how to make a uv map, then make a texture for it. I know there are a lot of tutorials for uv mapping but I haven't seen one that gave detailed instructions on making the actual texture. Do any of you know were one is.

I would like if it would show you how to take a picture of someone and strech it and do what ever to make it fit a 3d model of a person.

It's usually easier to adjust the UV map to fit the texture than trying to skew the texture to fit the UV map.

Overall as far as difficulty goes though I would say UVW Mapping a humanoid character, and applying a texture would be on a scale from 1 - 10, 10 being the hardest thing in game dev. At about a 15.

I've gone through a dozen tutorials on the subject and no 2 people use the same method. My best suggestion is to start with simpler objects, and then move to more advanced objects as you get more and more comfortable.
