I think I probably do things the other way round, think of a
nice texture then try to decide what type of object I can
put inside it.  The current project that I'm working on
would be a good example of that, I wanted to make a
checkered texture on a coffee cup, (like some I've seen in
the real world), and then built a scene to show off my
layered texture. It'll be in P.B.I either today or tomorrow.
