Wrapping.

Hey! I've a question, and I think I know the answer, but I thought I would ask here to be certain.

Is there any way to create your own skin (rather than editing a Blizzard skin) to wrap over one of Blizzard's models? If so, how does one do it? Is there a tutorial on it that I haven't seen, somewhere? Does it make the skin file unreasonably huge?

I ask this because I don't like the way many skins stretch and compact on certain models, and I wish I could put my own on so I can get the effect I want.

Note: This is NOT a noob "How do you skin?" topic. I want to know how one tells the skin where/how to wrap around the model, so I can wrap my own without stretching/distortion/repeating areas. Please do not refer me to any beginning skinning tutorials.

Good gods, could more than 5 people take a look at this please? -_-

you'd have to model edit and rewrap the model i guess

How exactly does one rewrap it? Sorry, I've never made a model from scratch or anysuch, or no doubt I'd be able to figure it out.

Unwrapping is hell.

So it's hard, but does it increase the file size much? If so, I won't bother (need to keep the map's file size down), but if not it may be worth learning.

it will, cause it will require a new skin and model, probaby increase the filesize 100 kb per skin+model (or more, depending on what model you rewrap)

Bleh, okay, thank you. A skin I could handle, but models are too big to be worthwhile without substantial changes.

Thank you for the information.
