What do you need for skinning?

Ok now when I learned to make models (mostly balls and boxes) I want to know what I need for skinning. What are the tools I need? I know photoshop, but are there any other photoshop like, easy learned tools?

There is Paintshop Pro and the free tool at Wc3search the Gimp

well, you can use any tool, mspaint (not recomended), photoshop, paintshop and stuff like that....

you'll need a paint program, something to convert the skin format, and wc3viewer to view the skin on the model.

most of the above can be found in wc3search,

check out the tutorials for more help and info.

You dont need wc3viewer but its convienent. I'd say find your self a version of Adobe Photoshop 7 or CS

You can get a trial at www.adobe.com
Paintshop Pro kinds sucks.

If you are skinning your own model, ie 3DSM5 with Art Tools, you only need an art package to colour it. the conversion and viewing is all done in 3DSM.

paintshot is ass for skinning, you need photoshop.

and if its wc3models, wc3vieuwer is a must.
