Went over to get the new Reduced HA's mod and see you uploaded a skin pack from one of the challenges here.
Just d/l'ed it and took a peek. Very nice sir.

I wish people would upload more of their skins - there is some very nice work being done.
Someday I hoped to develop the skills of some folks here.
Probably the same day I win the Lotto.

Thanks, but only one is mine. The rest were a compilation of the entrants in the associated challenge.

Actually, there are some very good tutorials on the subject and I believe Rick created a very good one for one of the challenges. Not sure where the link is but he can probably post it here for you. It is not a very difficult process actually and with a little persistence one can create a simple logo on a skin as a starting point and progress from there.

Rick, that post should become a stick in this forum. Maybe as Pol if he can promote it as a tutorial on skinning.

Now all I need is. 36 hour day and I am all set!
Thanks for the link though. Maybe I will break a leg sometime and have a whole lot of time to get really good.

It is stickied in the reference sub-forum yep

Duke, the video tutorial is pretty much in real time, you can get something basic but nice up and running in about an hour! Just make sure to always work on a new layer every time you add something and save the file as 24 bit. Also, ask questions, there's good people here!
