Texturing Stage 2:Photoshop Stage, Painting the map!

I then opened up my map in photoshop. Firstly I just painted little streaks here and there just to understand where it will appear on Cecil's body, once I put down my dots/paint scribbles I saved the image as a JPEG then went into MAX and opened up the materials and followed the process to texture Cecil with the map I was working on in Photoshop. This I found was a great way of doing it as when you were unsure of where the paint job was going you could just save the JPEG and in MAX the texture would automatically upload. It was a slow process but I truly enjoyed it, the pictures below show how Cecil looked with the texture on with various stages of painting in photoshop. I have also included an image of how the map looked in photoshop while I was painting on it.
