So I looked into the icon tutorial and it recommended I go onto google and find icons on there. Basically what I'm doing is just reskinning existing textures on models and I could really use the already existing icons to edit those yet I don't know where I can find any online so I can print screen and then do the rest. I just started modeling/texturing and have learned a bit since I started last week but now I'm trying to learn icons and the tutorial is just not doing it. Please help.
Edit: seconds after typing this I thought to myself couldn't I just go into retera and print screen the icons from in there?

NICE! Thank you so much. yeah I literally just typed in WC3 reforged icons in Google and didn't get much. I am familiar with importing into WE in their correct paths but that is about it. I never edited icons before so this is a first. We'll see how it goes. lol

All Icon's seem to work in-game and look great. With no experience doing icons or using Paint.net/GIMP I managed to pull it off with GIMP and an Icon Template you can find in the Reforged Icon Tutorial, edit icon and make sure it is 256x256 resolution, then "Export as" into a folder you created for your icons and use DXT1 Compression, make sure to generate mip maps, and set Error Metric to Perceptual then it's ready to import into the assett manager. Here is one of my icons for example. Sorry for the blurriness. Still figuring out resizing photos etc to still look neat regardless of photo size. I'm sure there is more technical way of explaining things but I'm sharing my experience for others if they're new such as myself.
