The first step in texturing should be to create a proper UV-map in Blender. There are plenty of good tutorials about this in the web.

It is also possible to paint the mesh in Blender and create a texture from that.

I found this tutorial handy...he rambles on a bit but for un-wrapping a complex shape all the basics are here

yes i know about that tutorial. guys speaks funny. bit it did help me. there are also other tuorials blender cookie got some nice tutorials.

if i put 2 or more exactly the same things in UV map one on another (lets say tires) will that uv map work in md2?

Looks great. do I understand correctly that wings are not visible at lowest elevation? Will actors be able to walk under them?

[Noordung]

yes.

[kurja]

awesome ^2 =D

not sure if anyone doing texuters for raptor. so here are some really really bad ones. maybe we can use them unil someone can do better ones. and some improved md2 files. older had one problem.
