Mrozy 391 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hello NoName! I wrote some tutorial for someone and I decided to share it with you, because it can be good help for someone who completely don't know how to make own skins. 1. Programs If you want to make your own skin, you need to download:iwi <--> dds converter (http://tom-crowley.co.uk/downloads)Image editor with Direct Draw Sufrace (.dds) supportI was using a lot of programs and I think 3 of them are the best:Photoshop (https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html?promoid=KLXLS)Gimp + dds plugin (https://www.gimp.org/downloads) + (http://registry.gimp.org/node/70)Paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/download.html)Gimp and paint are very good to start. Easy interface and a lot of tutorials in internet.Photoshop is good for advance editing. 2. How to edit I will show you how to edit using ak47u weapon.1st you have to get proper image.You can download it from my center (all files are converted to .dds) - http://deathrun.byethost32.com/skinsOr find it in:cod4mainiw_02.iwdcod4mainiw_04.iwd Most stock weapons are named "weapon_[name]_col.iwi" and "mtl_weapon_[name]_col.iwi".Different with custom weapons. For these weapons you have to find a file, which you want to edit. So, our aku skin is called "weapon_ak47u_col.iwi".It hasn't editable image yet. You need to convert it to .dds filetype. Excract iwi <--> dds converter and simple drag your iwi file on converter icon. When you open it, you will see something like this:http://i.imgur.com/TqvtW6Zm.png This is 2d texture for aku model. As you see there is magazine, back, front, side of our weapon. Now you can edit it to whatever you want. If you don't know how to use tools in your program, find some tutorial on web. If you like your work, then save it as .dds file with these settings (be sure you removed all mipmaps from file, or you will get error):- Compression: - DXT1 (for no transparent image) - DXT5 (for transparent image)- Generate mipmaps - enabled http://i.imgur.com/1X5uUQB.png I think that's all you should know about editing. Hope you like my tutorial and happy editing! Puddingsbane, Razor, MAD eKs and 6 others like this Quote http://csgo-stats.com/mrozy/graphic.png Link to post Share on other sites
