Some1 teach me how to skin.... PLEASE (uvwmaping, i dont know how 2 do it)

ok heres my model, title is self explanitory

Select your model and go to Modifiers-->Uv Coordinates-->Uvw Map then do the same and select in Modifiers-->UvCoordinates-->Unwrap Uvw click the [<EDIT>] button and there pops up and window whit white lines then select flatten mapping and dl Texporter search on google.com then go to the hammer icon and select more scroll down and select texporter set width and height to 256 and select pick object now select your model there pops up an screen and select the floppy(it saves it to any location) well your done

ok, you got me half way there, i am reading help file, and i dont know how to do this last part: (?)= help with this part
Step 4: Applying the Texture
You have the texture. What you have to do is prepare a material holding this texture and apply it to the object. Key point is this: You shouldn't change the mapping coordinates after step 2.

1- Prepare the Material
Now load the texture you painted as any map(?). There are few things to check: In coordinates section of the map settings, be sure that Texture and UV radio buttons are checked, both Offset fields are set to 0.0, both Tiling fields are set to 1.0 and Angle is set to 0.0. Also be sure that the mapping channel of the texture matches the Texporter's settings.

2- Apply the Material
Apply the material to your mesh if it is not applied already(?).

You should now have a beautifully painted object.

i actually dont understand any of the stuff, but i think i can figure out the stuff other than the 2 sentances with the (?) if you tell me how to do what they are asking me to do... thx alot, i think ill work on the actuall skin till you reply :)

Aplying is actualy simple you select your model go to render and click on the grey blank thingy next to disfuse there pops up an window and go to bitmap then quite simple select your painted thing

But btw thats a freakin good model for only 190 polys!!!

ummm, i cant find the thing your talking about.... in my render menu there are no buttons, and i did a thorough search of all my menues, and i found nowhere was there a button near a diffuse thing(which i never saw either) plz help, oh and btw i always get a warning when i click on something in the modifier stack stuff. ive never used modifiers before, so i dont know wtf its talking about, somthing with topular something or other, i imgine its just telling me that each thing is based on the previous thing, so if i change 1 all the rest will be ****ed up :/

oh and as for it being a good model, thx :P i actually based it off of something i made out of legos, took me about an hour.

Aplying is actualy simple you select your model and press M and click on the grey blank Button next to disfuse there pops up an window and go to bitmap then quite simple select your painted thing

sweatness, alright got it to work. now i want to know something else, how do i make it so i only have to skin one side of the bloody thing....

If you only want the Left side, then go to the left viewport, and check the box called: Ignore Backfacing in the right scrolling thingy. And select all the polygons. Now, if you press M, Gray box next to diffuse, you can select the texture you want, and now you will only apply it to the polygons you selected!
