read them again, they tell exactly what you should do.

and if you want to skin your self made model, you have to unwrap the model first. go to the model forum for more info.

im good at it a good program too use is
Adobe ImageReady 3.0 but you need a other one like windos paint cus you cant save in the unregestered version

see ya........................

just dl photoshop, and if you do, make sure you dl 7.0. saves alot of money and you skin.

Well, if your that desperate for a easy 8 step tutorial here is a fast one i wipped up...

ya thanks i think i might Get photoshop but whats wrong with gimp and whats this gmax program i keep hereing about

gimp is a just some paint program, but photoshop is waaay much more powerfull program.

and Gmax is a modeling program.

Get all the conversion programs and start with a blizzard skin. Mess around with the brushes until you have a skin. Not much more to it than creativeness, inspiration, ability, and boredom.
