The first step towards building a workable UV texture for a Mesh in Blender.

How to create more predictable, usable and manageable UV texture shapes by marking our own seams on our mesh in Blender.

How to export your carefully mapped UV texture as an image file that you can edit outside of Blender.

One (easy) technique for editing our UV textures in Photoshop, in preparation for bringing them back in to Blender.

How to bring our Photoshopped texture back into Blender and (start to) apply it to our model.

How to finish setting up the render pipeline in Blender so that our UV texture will be the material that is rendered on our model in the final image.

It turns out that we can edit our UV texture image in Photoshop and, with a single command, reload that image into Blender.

How to get started building an armature for a character in Blender.

How to add bones to your armature so that the whole construction is a connected skeleton.

How to add the hip joint from the "butt" (wide, base end) of the spine bone and connect things so that the skeleton will bend "normally"

How to name the bones of your armature predicatably so that we can assign groups of vertices to be moved by these bones.

How to use a mouse focus trick to easily extrude a bone perpendicular to the rest of the armature skeleton (say, the foot).

How to attach the armature that you've constructed to a model (meshes only!) so that you can animate the model.

Can a vertex on a mesh be a member of more than one vertex group in Blender? Yes, and here's how.

How to create a vertex group to assign to a particular armature bone (so that the bone will move the mesh!)

How to add a basic armature to a mesh-based model in Blender.
