I used the downloadable software called 'Deep UV' and 'Texporter' to help me unwrap my model. With 'Deep UV' I modified the UV's in the space to create a wireframe layout that allowed me to easily paint in Photoshop my texture, both in 2D and 3D.
This is a sample of my texture.
For the armor, I used the shellac material in 3dsmax. This is the setting that I used for the armor material.
