Thank you for the answers everybody. My take away from the answers confirmed what I discovered. There is not a course building the shader ball from scratch., at least not currently.
While watching the texturing video I noticed several design choices I would have liked to hear more about. Kent has many great videos, so I was hoping there was something I just simply missed or couldn’t find. There are still many videos on CG Cookie I haven’t had time to watch, so I am hopeful I will find something else.
