EVERYTHING you need to know about skinning. - Developers

[QUOTE=Mini Reaper]There is an image missing, could you get it back please?[/QUOTE] I've tried, I guess it's gone for good, I don't happen to have the original pic also. I was recently making a new tutorial with new stuff, better explanations and propper grammar :D. Problem is I stopped working on it because I've been very busy. I should be able to progress on it whenever I have some time.

I'm in bad or this is a sticky thread for how to "[B]texture your model[/B]"? I was searching something about how to make ragdolled model, this is what I mean by skinning. :(

How do I install garry's mod 10 skins?

i still don't get it, but thanks, good sort of guide

I was able to fully hex it any everything but I'm having trouble make duplicate skins. What I want are 2 models using different skins, but they keep on using the same one. How can I fix that?

Thank you

When I install the trial version of Photoshop CS3, I get a setup error: "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance Internal Error 2739." Any ideas whats causing this?

Great Job! :)

I'm confused. Do i need to do ANYTHING to the t_leet? Do i need to change the name of the model? I really don't understand it...:downs:

Very good Tutorial, Thanks.

Good tutorial, but how do I use photoshop?

I still have lots of questions that are definitely unanswered. I tried learning how skinning works by looking at other VTF's but I don't get a lot of things. Like, this thread mainly just tells me what I need for skinning not how to do the actual process. I'm guessing from looking at VTF's you just get an image for every possible angle on the mdl and then you just put in a random order? And what are these VMT's that seem to come along with every VTF? Could someone point me in the right direction of how to actually skin?

I'm lost about trying to apply a skin, because once i zip it i don't know where to put it, i don't know if i just paste it into the main folder under: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\AccountName\garrysmod\garrysmod or C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\AccountName\garrysmod or some other folder

Hi Guys. Since I can´t open a new thread yet, I just post my first question here. I have downloaded the Kasumi model from that page : [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=20967[/url] And Garrys mod is also working nice, but i wonder how i can put the new character into the game. There were 2 folders in the downloaded zip: materials and models I think I already know where to put the files which are in the models folder, because the files here: C:\Programme\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\gmod9\models\Player are pretty similar to them. But now I don´t know where to put the files which are in the materials folder. It´s also a bit funny, cause the files of the materials folder are in subfolders: materials\models\player\kasumj\and there the files Can someone please tell me the correct locations where I should put the files? Thank you very much Oh, and I forgot to say that I only have Garrys Mod 9. Is this a problem?

I have Garry's Mod 10 and i am trying to use some new models for rag dolls but I don't know where to put the files when i extract them. When i extract them there are Materials, and Models folders could someone tell me where i need to put them so i can use those rag dolls in game.

Decent tut, but i lack to find the information on how to add the skins once i have created them.

Thanks you're wery helpful by making this thread! Gold star to you!

awesome.

Can someone tell me where I can find the VTF for the city 17 males? I want to try reskinning ragdolls and player models.

This is very helpful, but my big question is, what kind of modeling software do you use to make models for garry's mod?

[QUOTE=DelerDude]Good tutorial, but how do I use photoshop?[/QUOTE] It told you :downs: He completely disregarded GIMP though, and seeing as though that is what I use, i would love a GOOD GIMP skinning tutorial.

I need help man. I have a Re-skin of Link_twilightprincess and i tried to hex it, then when i open it in the game I see a Green Circle as you see on effects. If some one would like to hex my skin let me know asap so I can release it its worth your time trust me. Thanks in advance

Needs phong tutorial :D

Thanks, i can now try skinning, but I have a question, with what can i open/modify .phy extensions?

Just one question. I want to change the color of a sofa I want to use in my map. I open "GFCscape" and edit my sofa, but I want the old sofa to have the same color, so I not change the color in half-life. Therefore I save the .vtf another place, but how do I get my new sofa skin in the Hammer editor if I don't want to remove the original sofa skin?

Can you explain weapon skinning? I think it's a little different.

I do skinning, just not like that :) hehe. I only use 3ds max. Im new here, and I dont know that much about garrys mod and all that crap. :) But I got some models of Garrys site, and I thought I would ask some experts , how do one convert these models to 3ds files? Is there a software, or a plugin? I would be honored if you guys could help me! Any favours will be much obliged in the future!
