Hmm, it depends on what your skinning. If your skinning terrain and sky textures, you can edit them from your world1 folder. If your skinning objects/buildings, you need to go into the mesh folder and search the mesh file for the tgas you need to edit, from there just locate those tgas and make a assumption on what part your editing. If your editing vehicles and units there is a trickier approach.

They're the best for beginners.

Youl need a good .tga editor like Gimp 2.0 (Thats free) of Photoshop (not free) or just get a .tga converter and use paint. However you will not be able to get very good results.

And what do you think of this Corel software ?

RDST · Post by **RDST** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:13 pm

Its good, but I haven't used it much. I prefer other programs though.

Is Corel still going? jeez it always used to be awful! I've been using Adobe Photoshop since Photoshop 3 (during my uni days) and I'm currently using CS2 suite of stuff, sorry but it pwns your v7!

There aremany good editors about that are free/freeware etc... try http://www.download.com to see if there's one you might like. Good luck with your skinning!

ChaosFX was also a good one, too...
