Editing the texture map

[Zen Artist]

What is the best method of editing a texture map if I want to remove scratches or even if i wanted to add text for example? Would I take the UV map into Gimp and edit it there? And if so, how do I replace the new texture with the old one on the 3D object?

I have tried importing the mesh into Blender but I have not been successful in mapping the object there.

Zen Artist The texture file (assuming UV textures as opposed to vertex colours) can be edited in pretty much any image editing program as they are just pre-mapped out in the correct UV space and are just static image files. For textures in Blender it depends on the version you're using BUT here is a handy pre-made guide: https://blender.stackexchange.com/qu...o-imported-obj

Hope this helps, let me know if you need more assistance
