Ok i got the perfect free, legal, programme for texturing.
Its called GIMP and i use it for all my textures. Mspaint just cant cut it when it comes to options and the like.
Google it and dl it from its main site!
Okay about textures, you can use one 256x256 texture for a model. You'l need to place the things you want to project onto you're sword into sections of the texture.
But! This will maybe you're model look very low res, and its much easier making extra 256x256 textures. Trust me ive had a year of this and i am pleased that i followed this guide.
Also you can make things much quicker this way. Most of my models have at least two seperate textures.
Ah, just noticed that bad lad sword i left in there. Woops.
Added the display model 'cause im nice. It should be about right. Sword display models should really dip below the grid a little.
