Since you're the resident 3D guy, I've been experimenting and trying my hand at created a weapon of some description. I have followed tutorials and created a very basic bastard sword design with some quite bad texturing.
Are there any tips that you could give with regards to texturing? I am not the most artisitic person in the world and therefore I have just been going through google images taking different materials, such as metal and leather and just throwing them onto a wireframe UV map.
In particular, I am at a complete loss as to how to do an effective bump map in GIMP.
I am unaware of what tools you use, but if you can help me, that would be fantastic.
I ask this because as we can all plainly see, you've either got lots of experience or you're gifted in the mysterious arts of... arts..!
EDIT: Grammar change.

Add the straw hat as a usable item. I feel naked without it!
Add back Nordic armour! I have nowhere warm to sleep now!
