Master Skinnerz Tutorials

Due to the vast range of graphics and paint software available we try to provide tutorials that are non-software specific. In other words, we try to focus on techniques of skinning rather than tools or features of a particular brand of software. We have also included tutorials about how to apply and use skins in-game and how they can be shared, named, and stored correctly. Unless indicated otherwise, all tutorials should be useful to most skinners regardless of experience. Some basic understanding of graphics or paint software is presumed in any case. You should know at least how to open or import a file, cut and paste objects, resize or scale objects and images, save or export a file. Information about these very basic functions and their use will be found in your software's help files or manual.
