move this if i posted in the wrong thread but because i dont like GIMP

(i dont understand half of it). Could i edit a skin with the Paint program included in most windows operating systems, and how would i be able to open the skin if i could. Thanks!

You can edit a skin with paint, but you have to convert to bitmap/jpeg, edit, convert back to targa.

?

Msh files are the model. You can only skin tga files. To edit the msh you need XSI.

Both. The skin or tga file is the color of the character, but the msh is the actual shape of it.
