This tutorial needs you to understand basic use of 3dsmax.

After we have created and fixed unwrapped faces in previous tutorials, we are ready to make texture template.

1. In Edit UVWs window, choose Tools>Render UVW Template. Enter texture size. For example I use 512x512 pixel. Then, click Render UV Template button. You can save texture template as bitmap image.

2. Open saved image in your image editing software, like Photoshop. Draw texture based on that image. Image below shows rough texture I created based on template.

3. Back to 3dsmax. Open Material Editor. There's one material applied to panda model. Remember, you applied this material while in modeling process. Select this material. Click Show Map button, to make applied material appear in viewport. In Blinn Basic Parameters, click small button right next to Diffuse. In Material/Map Browser choose bitmap, and then select texture image you have created before. When finished, close Material Editor

4. Apply Turbosmooth and render your scene. Image below shows example of rendered result. Next step, I will show you how I create more realistic material.
