Research, Plug-Ins and Textures

Well over the weekend i decided to buy far cry 2, ouch my computer doesnt like it, but anyway yeah decided to get it to give me some inspiration and guide lines on to textures. The game itself is pretty cool a 50km squared open area to play in so over the next week i will be looking into the models in it and how they created them.
This morning i have been looking in to some textures that i think will be useful in the overall layout of my piece, i may change the way i have started my UVing as well it would seem that some people find the textures first place them in photoshop then set up the UVs to fit the space. This will be something i look into today and tomorrow. However in order to get different maps, normal and specular the easiest way would be to get a plug in for photoshop. Will look into this when i get to college and see if we support it or not and if i can get hold of it. As it would be very benificial for the whole class.
