Skinning Techniques

I've uploaded the efforts of my old skinning team, Insomnia.

I wondered what happened to those, thanks Whitehorn!

Cool. I shall show some more stuff. That's if this is an open thread for "skinning techniques" posting, like the old one...?

Please do - I'll transfer them to the first post.

well I learned a thing or two here.

Small tip of my own for skinning; You can make up a 'palette' of colours you wish to use, use the eyedropper tool to get colours from any pics you like the colours in...i use photoshop elements and the colour swatches are much more limited so that's useful to me.
warm colours (reds, yellows, brighter shades ) show up a lot better in game because of the lighting. dark colours can appear very dark under the games light/shadow effects

And all my sexy purples turn grey :(

These are great whitehorn, I especially like the green leather one.

Ill redo my old techniques and upload them aswell.

Really usefull things indeed.

Yay, they're back! I missed those... once again as I said a long long time ago in a galaxy far... wait.... anyways gj.

Photoshop, best to get a current version but I found (from experience of using various versions) that the best older version to use is 7 (that's if you cannot get your hands on CS2 and such).

You can download the trial but to get the full versions you either have to buy Photoshop (which is rather expensive) or there are other methods which shall remain hidden.

You don't use Photoshop JUST to make skins for Wc3, jesus...

Just an FYI. Photoshop CS2 sells on the Adobe site for over $600 (American).
