3DS Max & Photoshop game asset workflow - texturing

In this two-part series I make a dumpster from start to finish. This is intended for intermediate Photoshop users and is not intended to be a tutorial or how-to... its just an overview of the complete process of making a game asset.

Thanks Mike. I've been using PS for a few years but I learnt such a lot! I just have to learn how to have the same amount of patience as you for the detail; I apply textures like throwing paint lol.

Great tutorial as always, thanks. I've spent a long time over the last six months researching into work-flows, and I've found exporting a high poly model from Max and painting in 3D Coat to be a joy (and then baking high to low poly models with xNormal). I realise 3D Coat isn't cheap, but it's so good (and no, I don't work for them!). Just wondered if you'd had any experience in 3D Coat and why you would choose to work in Photoshop over it. 3D Coat has a demo if you haven't tried it.
