That is an Excellent Model Chris ... Well Done on getting her finished !!! ... For some reason I thought you used MAX, ... But with regards to Textures, the principle is pretty much the same no matter what App you use and there are a ton of texturing Tutorials online, though I find it Amazing that C4D doesn't have some sort of texturing function ?, ... I've never used C4D, just find it strange that your version which isn't that old cant unwrap a model ? ....

When you do get something to texture with, being new to that area id suggest building something very basic to practice assigning material IDs, Unwrapping, Texturing, and just general playing about & experimenting with the types of surfaces & effects you're wanting for your X-Wing, ...Damage, Worn Paint, etc .... rather than jump straight to your prized model.

hey Jas ... thank you very much for the kind words

yes, its a mess that an application like C4D (ok, its about 6 or 7 years old) don't have a UVMapper. Anyway ... it has some basic texturing tools as you can see in the cockpit.

Making textures is not that hard thing but makeing a good UV map for the X-Wing will be a hard challenge (I never made a UV Map). When I have UV Mapper Pro I will see what will come over me

Meanwhile I will come up with a new model this evening ... so keep your eyes open
