skinning

Hello everyone, I want to learn how to skin but well i have no clue what to do :( . anyway this is what i need to know;



1.Programs need and where to get them (including the program used for the actual skinning, i have heard some names but i know most of them cost money and im poor so are there any free ones?)

2.how to do everything including all the exporting, importing, switch to .tga or w/e it is and about the program that you actaully use to do the skin.


PLZ HELP!

Please check the tutorials section first, I think this one will answer all your questions.

It's good to ask questions, but try to do so in the right place (Moved out of gallery) :D

And maybe, Draco, you could either lock this or his other thread. They both have the same questions, and I answered it. I'm not a mod so...

Yea, I didn't mean to come off as if I didn't want to help, it's just that this question is asked at least once a week, to get started off you just read a tutorial to nail down the basics, that's all I needed and most people I'm sure. Draco's right though, asking questions is good, as soon as you basically know how to import, change something on your skin, then export and place it in-game, then ask away. I just find it monotonous that there should be a post rather often about the same topic for no apparent reason when it can be read in a matter of minutes in a tutorial.

I hope I didn't come off as rude, just tried to put it in the nicest sense possible. :D

the thing is i've seen the tutorials but it dosent say where to get a free editing program like photo shop and i dont have money so my main queston was really are there any free ware editors like photo shop or w/e u guys use?

ok i just checked some prices and i found pain shop pro 8 on sale for 50 bucks would this be good or is paint shop a bad skinning tool i want to buy a good one but not the 600 dollar one im willing to spend around 150 maybe 200 cause im only 14 i only have so much money so u kno tell me what u think

hmm no one repling any more o well i found a free trail version of paint shop pro 8 im gonna try it out and see what i can do cya in a hour o so maybe sooner if i get totaly lost lol

eeeeeeer i got paint shop 8 now but i cant find a single image extractor when i click on them i get a web site wit the 404 error HELP!

Sorry but I have real bad news for you:

1) PSP version 8 doesn't save properly so there is no point skinning in it. You have to try to get a trial of PSP 7, and make sure to always save under 32 compression.

2) Currently all the tool downloads are down from what I understand.

But here, I attached the zip of Warcraft III Viewer:

o kno wonder y i've been trying to save this thing for 10 mins and it made no change, stupid paint shop 8. ok so if i want paint shop i gott buy ver 7? well at least its cheaper : ) thx for help i'll post my new recolered grunt here in a lil bit then i'll work some more and might actaully change it a lil bit lol but i supose it will take a while to get the hang on it so yea


thx again guys

aww, dude i cant find Paint Shop pro 7 any where for a free trial i think they took it off after they released 8 if u fnd it post it here plz

I'm pretty sure you can't download the Trial Version online. Jasc took it off their site when they releases PSP8. Just use the PSP8 trial, and if you like how it works, you can buy PSP7.

Good luck

o well i can always buy psp 7 once i get my check next month wich is in a couple of days but i can practice in 8 for now even tho i cant show u guys : ( thx for all ur help post tips here if ya got any
