Hi there, I am a designer, but I want to get into modelling, thus I have created my first model of all time. https://i.gyazo.com/d9699b34a6ab15965f18a36a86f002b6.mp4 My problem here is one thing, the texturing part. I haven't put lots of details on the model itself, but I have tried my best to make it look like a chair.

I don't know what I should do with the texturing part, should one make his own textures or take it from textures.com or what.

Please give me any ideas you have. thanks alot.

You'll need to unwrap it first, I normally use Headus UV, it's pretty good at doing that sort of thing.

After that just load the UV Map into something like photoshop and get to work making the textures. I think Gmod uses the old Diffuse, Spec and Normal system. Alternatively you could give something like Substance Painter a try out for texturing but you'll have to convert everything into the old system.
