Skinnig

Hey men!
I ve got wc3 viewer and photoshop cs. So how to make skins? For example to paint footman,s face with gray colour as death knight?

Mini Tutorial:

Find the skin in WC3viewer you want to change.
Export the current file (blp) as a .TGA file.
Make sure it's 32 bit.
Open the TGA file in Photoshop.
Skin.
Save.
Go back in WC3Viewer, change your custom TGA file in a BLP. 32 bit.
Import in worldeditor.
Change the path of your custom file to the path of the skin that you want to replace.
Save map.
Close worldeditor.
Open worldeditor.
Open map.

If you cannot open/save TGA files properly, you need the TGA plug-in. Download it from adobe's site.

But how to skin? I mean how to replace textures from one skin (death knight) to another (footman)? And how to know about custom path?

OMG, that is NOT skinning. Thats the ass ugly CnP that sux ass. Skinning is clearing ur surface, doing ur basic colour, shading, doing the details, shade them and BOOM! u got a freehand skin.

I'ld like to precise totw : basic colors isnt the best way : do the color u need...

But what to do with my wc3 viewer? It has only the RoC files. I need and TFT. What about replacing textures from one skin to another?

...one would think that there somewhere was a turtorial for this topic?..

It only has the RoC skins because you, GASP, only opened the RoC mpq file! Its not a magical program that can open two mpq files at once you know, open the TFT mpq to use TFT skins and models

Да не ссыте психи!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG FOR GODS SAKE. YOU PUT TFT IN AND CLICK MPQ AND LOAD THE WC3.MPQ, omg, how dumb are you?
