textures starting...

So, the modelling is 100%, and the rigging is pretty much finished (haven't painted bone weights yet) ... Anyway - I have now started to seriously work on the textures. This is a VERY important part. Ugly textures = ugly overall look. Nice textures = nice overall look.

For the rigging I decided to do many things manually. This is because my experience says that when I try to make things work automatically, they tend to backstab me by not working at all and be very difficult to adjust. By having them manually operated, I will have to do some more work when animating, but I will most likely avoid some very irritating errors. I have tested the rig by baking it and it seems to work fine. At first it didn't work because I had an animated group above the root joint, which ofcourse wasn't read by the exporter. I solved this simply by creating an expression in the rootjoint to copy the things from my animated group. These expressions are baked when baking the simulation, so it works good.
