I can't help you, you're a noob. No, not really, I wouldn't say that.

Ahem, right. Well, you just open up the texture in photoshop and skin it. Look for Pepsi's tutorial, he has a lot of information on multipurpose maps. Good look.

No, in this case I would say go directly to the TUTORIALS section.

Pepsi's Tut, next time use the Search button or go right to the Tutorials.
