I love the skin texturing done on the isabella model, are you aware of any tutorials to help produce a similar result?

[PonderStudios]

@5FSF, If you google "blender projection texturing" you'll find quite a few tutorials. Some examples:

- texturing a head with GLSL preview, by lile hansen (2008)

- projection texturing (head) tutorial, by ben dansie (2009)

- texturing with projection painting, by jonathan williamson (blender cookie 2009)

- projection painting in blender 2.5, by david ward (blender cookie 2010)

Good luck!
