One of the best ways to create realistic 3D models is by incorporating good textures. Textures can make a model more realistic, by adding details which would be impossible as part of the geometry. This is a tutorial on the basics of texture mapping.

This video details the texturing functions within 3DVIA Shape, but these fundamentals could be used within all 3D modeling applications.

Cliff aquires some help in this video from one of our favorite user submitted (textured) models: Texturesaurus-Rex.
