Skinning

[shareefa]

Alright ... please don't flame me or anything for this question.

I've looked all over the net for how to import skins into battlefield 2, if i change DDS in photoshop i can't save it anymore.

If anyone has some tips or tutorials please let me know.

Re: Skinning

A lot of "skinning" depends on your photoshopping ability, it's for people who know how to use filters and to manipulate them into textures.

What I suggest you do is start of "Re-Skinning" some of the Battlefield 2 objects, and see how things turn out, then move on to your model.

Google for some "Metal texture" or "Wood Texture" tutorials to know what I'm talking about. PM me if you have any issues.

hmmmmmm - filters are good for your initial base - not much else.

now blending options and edge highlighting/recess shading - thats where the money is.
