Cool! What kind of games did you work on?

I'm using my company's in-house engine: http://tfpsoft.com/about/technology.html

If by "decent texturable" you mean easy for painting, then yes, this is sometimes an issue with sculpties.

I can recommend a work-around, however. The "bake texture" plugin will allow you to re-map the shape with a more reasonable set of coordinates, paint it, then "bake" the texture back to the map sculpties need. This makes it *much* easier especially for things like text or stripes that would warp badly otherwise. You can download the plug-in here:
