Just means new people will need to fill the ranks! Even if you've never textured before I'd say to still give these things ago, all you need is GIMP (which is free) or any other photoediting software and Mr Goblin has even made an amazing tutorial on how to produce some of the most common materials here.

I know some of the best artists have drawing tablets but I've always just used a mouse because I'm a masochist.

Heya, that's my field mister Betsy.
You expect the fact I went retirement simply because I got busy with Maya, lucky to you my texturing class is close so you can expect I would drop something new.
