Alright, back from a long vacation 3 months nearly now i'm getting into 3D modeling for games.

I know of Blender, 3D Studio's Max, Autodesk Maya, and Gmax.
But my question is does anyone have any tutorials or know of any pretty good ones that deal with creating textures.
I am interested in creating items and armour for the game Oblivion and would love to learn how too.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
