-Welcome to ''Modelling 102: Texturing for the 2D Challenged''. This page is aimed at those people who have a model that they want to texture, but don't feel confident enough at 2D art to create elaborately texture maps, or who, '''like me''', simply don't have the talent.

 The 3D modelling package I will be using in this tutorial will be the freely-available and quite sterling '''Wings3D'''. You can find a (probably) up-to-date link for this software here.

 You will require the services of a good 2D art program for this, or else I suspect you may not get very far. MS Paint is '''not even vaguely''' recommended for this. However, high-end, professional (and costly) software isn't required either. The package I use is called '''The GIMP''' (''GNU Image Manipulation Program''), is free and has quite a number of nifty features that I've come to love in the course of building models. You should use whatever you feel comfortable with. However, this tutorial uses the GIMP for its examples, and your software may not have the same functions available.
-Also needed a model to be textured, a good imagination and a sense of how you want the model to look, and some textures. For the purposes of this tutorial I'll be using the ''Cassowary'' model from the ''Modelling 101'' section.
