What program do you recomend to skin? I already have a modeling program but I don't have a skinning program...

-You can still post trial versions here...

Photoshop is probably the easiest, but it costs alot of money.

Photoshop Elements runs from $80 to $100 bucks, cheaper and better (IMO) than just plain Photoshop.

If I'm wrong, correct me, but I think Photoshop is the only graphics program availible that offers the .dds plugin.

no photoshop, paintshop, elements, and one free one have the dds plugin but i dont remeber the name someone will post it. but elements is good for skinning but not as good as photoshop in the long run still.

I may be wrong, but isn't one of the diffrences between Photoshop Full edition and Photoshop elements that elemnets does not have the History bar? what else does it lack? History bar has saved me so many times.

Beastman,
I think the free one is WinGimp .

that would be it thank u

Wingimp? As in The GIMP? You could use that but there is no dds plugin.

i believe there is, well at least i was told there is, walka might know ask him, i believe he was the one telling me how powerful a program it is for being free

I know it's and awesome program and I'm learning with it but I really want a dds plugiin, I'll ask him tho thanks. And I already tried google yahoo ask jeeves and sutin else not long ago.

Yeah, but Elements has the back button which is effectively an easier way to delete from history.

Yeah WinGimp has a .dds plugin at the same site you get the photoshop plugin, nVidia http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_t ... tools.html[/url][/code]

Photoshop is WAY better than Photoshop Elements...IMO. Especially if u know what u're doing. Elements doesn't have some very kool features that Photoshop does. Trust me, i've been using Photoshop for roughly 6 years now.

Um, I see no dds plugin for gimp on that site? I checked before too. And I just checked it again.

I've never tried it but this should work http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/%7ecocidius/normalmap/ try that and if it doesn't i don't know you could try googleing it.[/url]
