Well, this is all very game-changing and entertaining. Looks like he has built Image Input AI into Cinema ! Can't be arsed to finish your project off ? Type a few words, and hand it over to Captain AI. Is this how AI takes us over? ; it seems helpful at first, then one day we wake up, and it doesn't need us anymore ?! CBR

First off - please update to the latest version of R26 - there has been at least one major service pack that fixes a whole load of modelling issues, and problems with the knife tool under certain circumstances were among bugs that got fixed, so you need to do this to rule out it being a problem with the program.

My ideal AI application for textures were that you provide it one or more separate base texture(s) and it generates a non-repeating, perfectly tiled texture that goes until infinity. And from that base image it creates the appropriate masks for reflectance, AO, bump, normal, height, specular, luminance and alpha. Luxology actually had something to do this long ago called ImageSynth (not sure if it created all the channel textures other than the color channel) but it was too unstable and therefore discontinued. Of course, that was long before AI...so maybe it can be revived. Dave

this will give you a small sample of how you can approach it: Here's another one from the same person but making a robot character. oops.. and another:
