Do you know how to skin?

[Archian]

Well, I'm just wondering.. How many of you guys/girls around here knows how to edit a warcraft 3 texture/skin :?

If you have, can you show me some samples of your work?

I made a skin edit, not that it was very good...

 

[Healingpoison]

and also I can edit icons

Ah, well it's about time you learned (if you want to that is)
Have you tried reading the tutorial i made (there are some things missing in it however, but nothing special)

Anyway, you can always post questions and we'll answer (it's actually quite easy to make it work in the WE)

I can skin too... not well..

Well first you must extract the skin from the MPQ, and then save the skin as a .TGA file, then you go and edit the skin and when you're done you save it (still as a .TGA file) then you open up the Wc3viewer and convert it into a .BLP file.

Then import the skin into the World Editor, and adjust the path.
You can see the path name of the skin in the Wc3viewer (though it's usually what the path is for the unit in the model default preview inside the world editor)

What program are you using btw?

Well, Don't have a prog. Any free's ?

First of all, you'll need an image editing program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro etc. If you have none of these, you can download the GIMP.

Here you go

I can do the odd dodgy recolour. My scratch skins, however, are reserved for scratch models and total conversion projects.

I know how to skin, but i'm not very good at it. Never really been very skilled in Photoshop, although some of the skinning I did in Halo was alright... If you want to see any samples of that then you can check out these:

That was the first actual skinning I did and as you see it turned out retarded XD It was just for fun though anyway

For more retarded (but slightly better) skinning check this:

As well as http://pigswillpay.thatweasel.tv/videos/solaris.wmv

For professional quality modelling and skins, not done by me of course, check
this one: http://pigswillpay.thatweasel.tv/videos/Zen.wmv

The skins that are clearly not professional looking are of course mine XD There are more of course but the rest are forcused on modding (What I was mainly focused on) eather then skinning. If you have any interest at all let me know and I'll post the links

Thx for the link Archian ! Though I found photoshop in a bunch of cd's

I could skin, but I am not very good at it, as I use Fireworks, which is really only that good for web stuff.

Photoshop is what i prefer

Anyway, if anyone have anything which they'd like to show.
Please dont hesitate
