New models, new skins... new music??

Please forgive the jumbled-ness of my posts... I just had my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I'm on some pain medicine, so I'm only half here 8). I was wondering how difficult it is to make custom skins/models, and what the best tools you pros think would be for the job. If models is very very difficult, and skins isn't, I'll just try that. Also, does anyone make custom music for their maps? If so, what do you use to make it? I have a midi-tracker, but it doesn't make very high quality music unless u tweak each individual note for like a year.

What you need for skinning is a program that can edit images such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Than you need a program like Image Extractor II that can convert targa (tga) files into blp and vice versa. You convert it to tga and you edit it to how you like, it can be hard or easy depending on ur talent.

Editing models is a bit harder you needs 3ds max and the blizzard art tools. I dont know much here but those two tools allow to to edit them.

I dunno about music.

Thank you very very muchly for your help :D .
