Prototyping - Modular Floor Piece

I sat down with some new tutorials over at 3dmotive.com.  What an amazing site.  $22 per month and well worth it, in my opinion.  I really need to improve my texturing before I graduate so I tried a new workflow.  The advice and techniques I learned from this site in a mere 2 hours blew my mind.

I learned a few extremely handy techniques when modeling, in preparation for texturing.  I learned a TON of Photoshop techniques.  I learned a lot about UDK.  The prep work takes some extra time to set up, but once it's set up, you have ULTIMATE control over your texturing.  Changing almost anything in your photoshop document can be done in a matter of seconds through selection masks, opacity masks, and level adjustments.

Here are the results (imported into UDK.)
