Happy June everyone!  
Does anyone know of a site (preferrably) or book that goes into detail about texture mapping?  
What I am looking for is a way to:

1. streamline texture creations in photoshop
2. effectively apply them using the U.V. texture editor

and as a bonus…  
3. ways on realistically lighting a scene.

I appreciate any suggestions/directions anyone can offer.

thanks!:cowboy:
