Finally. Figured out the textures. And the texture painting. And the bump mapping. And the lighting. And the goddang fiddly camera. And the rendering. And a hundred tiny little other things.
On top of that, I figured out how to give her decent hair, fixed the shoes, made lots of little tweaks, and now it is 2:30am and I am tired. But I figured the shit out and I feel like I'm finally getting a handle on Blender. Fantastic feeling.
