darth_micke Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Hi... I've been working on mapping and are complete lost on skinning... I've got basicly two questions: 1. Is there any good tut for making skins for PSP7? (paint shop pro 7) 2. Do u need somethin else than PSP7? Dont stone me.....
Bell Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 principles are the same, just gotta know how to use the program of your choice. Now are you talking about just the artwork? then check this http://www.planetquake.com/skintutor/frames.html if you are also going to do any uv mapping, the tuts depend on what 3d modeling program you are using.
darth_micke Posted July 31, 2002 Author Posted July 31, 2002 Uhm okey..... Thats a dead link btw.. And uhm pardon me for being a complete n00b at this..but what the hell is uv mapping??? Thx..
Bell Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 k i just clicked on the link and its working now. uv mapping is taking your 3d model and flattening it out so it is on a 2d surface, so you can paint the artwork on it. this tells the program which parts of the artwork are alligned with which vertices of the model. e.g. the picture of the nose gets placed right on the nose of the model.
