Thank you vm for this incredible tool. I cannot afford a 3D program.

I am new to skinning boats. But I am learning quickly. I have been using my photoshop CS3 to create and apply my skins.

One thing that I would like to be able to do is to place numbers or images on the left side of the boat, but have them going the right direction. I have worked with the occlusion maps to get the effect, but I understand that trying to edit the occlusion files with my photoshop is merely casting a shadow...and so I get that blurred look as well as only being able to use a black color against a lighter colored skin.

I was wondering if this tutorial would be the one to follow in order to learn how to apply actual font/image, and in any color.

Could someone please put me on the right track, so that I can learn this?

I did try googling 'occlusion mapping' and such like that, but found myself in a sea of confusion.

Thanx all for your time & help.
