A tutorial on how to UV unwrap well, as well as one on things like baking lightmaps and specular lighting, might also be useful. I might do that, IDK. There's a lot more to unwrapping than you might expect.

Just started looking at Blender stuff and this tutorial was really helpful, thanks man

Yeah, I totally agree.  This tutorial is more of a "Where the heck are all the buttons?!" perspective, because that can be the hardest part sometimes.  I'm hesitant to do a UV slicing tutorial myself because the methodology is very situational and trial-and-error.  I'm still learning myself.

I can't quite figure out how to make my texture apply to the material properly in Blender - I've loaded it as the material's texture, but in the render, it doesn't fold over the model, just loads as if I were applying it to the entire model.

Any advice?

Make sure that you've got the Map To property set to UV for the texture. It's in the Texture panel.

I followed the tutorial, but only two of the cube faces were textured. The other four were black. I tried moving the mesh around in the UV editor, but that didn't move the texture onto the black faces. What did I do wrong?

[SolarLune]

Make sure you've selected all faces, and then assign the material to the faces.

Also try selecting the faces and then selecting the correct image in the UV image window (to apply it to the faces).

Whoops, the black faces of the cube just weren't being lit.
