How do you texture?

[LordOfMinecraft99]

Hi, I am a beginning modder. So far, I think i am ok at modeling, but i have no idea how to texture/ UV map. I started a tutorial and then i got to the point where i had a white background with like a hundred jumbled shapes all in random positions, and i have no idea what to do! I use wings 3d, if anybody knows how, please help me!

I was about to share the same links as @cxg2827 in your other thread, good thing I stumbled upon this one. In my experience, texturing is the hardest part to pick up, at least for basic part mods. Take a good look at the materials on those thread, and don't be afraid to iterate over and over until you get it just right.
