You must know how to wield the force.

Dionesiist I deleted your post since it was pure spam, do not do this again.

Well if you just made a model then you have to unwrap it first so it does wrap correctly. Then you save the uvmap as an image and then you can start skinning. You determine which path you use when you export your model to warcraft format. If you want to know more about unwrapping and exporting then I will move this thread to the modeling section, and you can get help there.

You can open your model in vertex modifier or this program. In the second one, you go View->UV Editor, then just take a screenshot and paste/resize it into your paint program. If you want to hide some geosets, you can click the little "<o>" button at the top of the main screen.
Vertex modifier is about the same, but you can only look at one geoset at a time.
