Cartoon / Colorful Textures

Hi all,

I’m interested in modeling objects with more colourful textures to give it that cartoony pop feel. The most prime example is Team Fortress 2, where the models are 3d but the textures are so colourful they give off a cartoony feel.

I’ve seen a few projects like it but I’m not entirely sure how the get that effect. In particular I’d like the textures to be able to be used in game projects I.E exported to Unity 3D if possible.

Maybe this video by David Ward over on CG Cookie will help:
