Thanks VBH. But visually reading is easier for me, rather than 'reading' from a voice. I have been reading your notes you provided. Thee are so many 3dz studio versions, Gurney's and ColGibbon and WB updates. But I'm gonna try to concentrate on the one you sent. But I still would appreciate anybody to come out of the wood work and offer some guidance, instructions and tips.

Dug up a few links for 1.2 era 3DZ AND SKINNING GUIDES
Aces Over Gyn
'Alessandro Borges'
Alessadro has very good utilities at his site that allow you to view or modify 3DZ files. They are called '3DZ Viewer' and the '3DZ Studio'. The studio utility also has a ZIP ReadMe file available.
Capitan Manduca's EAW Workshop
'Enrique Garcia'
'Alatriste' has made available several downloads that give 3DZ files and basic instructions for updating aircraft skins for EAW. The aircraft covered are the Bf 109E 'Emil', Bf 109F 'Franz', Bf 109G 'Gustav', Bf 109K 'Koenig', He-111, Spitfire Mk1 and extra files to modify 300 litre drop tanks. These downloads are available from 'Captain Manduca's' EAW Workshop (3DZ Add-ons page).
John 'Chompy' Masters
'Chompy' has made available a skinning tutorial which gives you a walk through for High resolution (HR) skinning of EAW aircraft using the 'layer technique' and how to create new HR 3DZ models. Also available at the EAW Dispersal Site (Chompy's add-ons page).
Cords' EAW page
'Cord Hartmann'
'Cord's' EAW main site has released a 3DZ EAW tutorial which provides instructions in the art of 3DZ modelling, for the beginner and 'expert' alike. Cord's site is one of the most popular around the EAW circuit so this tutorial must be worth viewing. The tutorial can also be downloaded in Word format, for off-line work. Cord has also made available at his site works by 'Paulo Morais' and 'Charles Gunst'. There are download ZIP files from Paulo for 3DZ editing as well as a 3DZ texture parts mapper. There are also downloads for Charles Gunst's PAW 3D files, version 1 and wireframe models of various aircraft.
'Enemy Coast Ahead (ECA) On-line'
'Charles Gunst'
This author has made available downloads that give anyone the chance to skin aircraft for EAW from the Pacific theatre of operations. The authors site has 3DZ files which you can experiment with to learn the 'art' of skinning. The files can be downloaded from 'ECA On-line' (our downloads page).

Major Lee has produced an excellent tutorial in the art of using the 'PicPak' utility to produce aircraft skins for EAW. His instructions are viewed in the 'Paint Shop Classroom' page, where uses a P-47 aircraft skin as an example, leading you through the process step by step. A similar tutorial to that of 'Shadow Dragon's' and just as valuable to the first time skinner.

The main section gives comprehensive, but easily understood, instructions for creating a new EAW aircraft skin, using the Bf 109G aircraft as an example. The second and third sections give equally good instructions in the use of the 'PicPac' utility and how to create aircraft markings of variuos sorts. The tutorials can be viewed using the EAW page 'Tutorial' link or dowloaded from the site in PDF format, for using it when off-line. If your interested in the art of 'skinning' EAW aircraft, then you must visit this tutorial.

Not sure I'm finding everything, but some of them.....
On that note, I managed to get 3dZ!Studio working on Win10 64bit. The main thing is getting Visual Basic Runtime files placed and registered. (alot easier then it sounds). Some of you know I'm working on putting together a tool kit of sorts, and in this kit VBH has helped me locate and place some tools with breif guidence and breif tool decritption.
Anyway only like 2 tools would not run on Win10 64 bit.. Some ran as windows programs, others as WindowsVB programs and others as Windows command tools. Then there where A few as DOS tools. I may need to get a "wrapper" of sorts to run those DOS programs, maybe something called FREEDOS. Oh this early version of 3DZ!STUDIO done by Gurney uses winxpsp3 compat mode as a requirement for the VB files to run properly.
Anyhow I'm stairing at a beginner model and skin, getting use to moving the thing around and stuff.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but If I can help. I'm available for grunt work.

The 3DZ Studio program is a modeling program created by some EAW users back in 2000 and there after. For creating airplanes and other objects like houses and building or vehicales. It was orginaly a DOS program but shortly latter was made into a windows program, well, visaul basic. I'm just starting with the many versions avalable. I have been looking for resources such as tutorials, but not much help in that department. Except what you see posted on the EAW type forums and help from VBH. I would ask you to try to read my current WIP help document on the subject, but 1- its not nearly that helpful at the moment, 2 - unless you modeled or drew with programs before, I'm not sure how effective things would be for you. I definatly need more information, and it may be coming. I have to heavly edit the help doc as it is, but I can see that the missing information is needed. In other words, I don't think you can help, atleast not at the moment. Perhaps when I detail the 3dz help doc a bit more you will be able to.

I managed to scrounge up some information and began my Help Document, at least about half is done, as far as I can tell. Its a WIP so if you have any advised info to add, please let me know. Its the last help doc listed on my site. I hope to refer to some more vague info I have and fluff the text up with details and facts which should provide guidance and steps in the long run. This doc could have another 5 years of hard work into, im predicting. I hope to finsh the major portions within 3. We'll see. Not much help has been provided from others. Just whats been posted here and some e-mailings from same peoples. No other direct help. and Thank you guys for what was provided so far.
