How do you create Skins?
I'm new to modding, but I think I could produce some good skins...
Could someone please tell me step by step how to create a skin for a unit from the beginning (from downloading the program/s).
As I said, I have no experience at all and I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks for time.

I use Gimp with the .DDS plugin and packfile manager, if you look around you will see some tutorials on how to do this.

Programs you will need to create new unit testures/skins:
Gimp with the .DDS plugin - To re-colour, make new textures, most of the works happens with this program.
Packfile Manager - to access the texture files and extract them for editing and to re import the edited versions.
Hex Editer Neo - for assigning new textures to models.
All the programs you need are free, the patience to learn how to do it is up to you

Re: How do you create Skins?
is there a guide for photoshop and not gimp?
Re: How do you create Skins?
I'm asking because if you can convert the model into a .obj for photoshop and then skin it is hella lot easier than having to go through unwarp3d and so forth
