Okay, I have major problems with texturing. For all of my previous models, for metal I just do grey with loads of grunge brushes applied. And now that I think of it, how do you apply textures to meshes in Blender?

Can anyone give me some good guidelines?

(I'm talking Photoshop here)

I have actually had a look at that, thanks Henry, but if I want to be a 3D modeler in the game developing business, I can't rely on one simple tutorial.

Yeah, first render dark clouds (like 25, 25, 25 and 27, 27, 27)
Then duplicate the layer
sponge the upper layer with lowest settings
then make that layer's opacity about 4 or 5

There is more but I can't type it now. I'll do so as soon as I can.

Just make a completely gray image and overlay some random bright colors (yellow purple etc.) on another layer with very low (like 3-10 % depending on the image) opacity and do the same thing but with some metal textures you can find on google. That's how I do it. Quick and easy, shake 'n bake.

Yep, Here's 1000 textures on metal too!
(Images... THOUSANDS OF THEM!!! THOOOUUUSSSAAAANNNNDDDSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!)

















































Also I believe to add textures to Blender you should use the material tab/section. >_> Random guess btw...
