I don't know how to skin

[SuPa-]

I completely do not know how to skin. Can someone explain to me how?

I'll help you out. First, download Warcraft III Image Extractor, I think it is on this site. Now, find the skin that you want to edit. Save it in TGA format. Now, open up the skin in the GIMP or any other image editing program. Begin skinning. Once you are finished, save it. Now, open the image you edited in the Image Extractor, and save it as BLP format. If you don't know how to import your own skin, open the import manager in the world editor, import the BLP skin, and change the path. If you edited the Evil Arthas skin, for example, it would be Units\Undead\EvilArthas\UndeadArthas.blp because those are the categories the texture falls under in the extractor. I hope this helped you, SuPa-. Happy skinning! If there's something in here you don't understand, let me know, hopefully I can help.

ty... how can i open up a edited model?

 

[CrazyChao]

Warcraft III Viewer should help you there. I'm a skinner, not a modeler, so I can't help ya that much with modeling.

[CrazyChao]

You can download the GIMP here.

i'll try a skin some1 else made, that should work

[CrazyChao]

If you're finished, let some people see the skin and see how it looks.

Dont double post please, just future advice.

You mean to view it on a model? No. not with model editor, well you can but its just too ..pointless. Your better of using wc3viewer to do that to view a skin on a model.

Go to 'Post Reply,' then scroll down below the "Submit Reply' button, and you will see a "Manage Attachments' button. Click that and you can attach things.

When I said don't double post, I meant it. I'll merge your posts yet again, but this time you are getting neg repped.
