Title: Skinning for Aces High
Post by: Paladin3 on March 28, 2012, 09:31:45 AM

Howdy folks, I have a little free time and thought I might try my hand at skinning some historical setups. I have a few questions.

1. Is there a respository for skins anywhere so I could open up those already up there and start small? Should I open that in Photoshop?

2. Speaking of Photoshop I have Delux 21 - is that going to do what I need done?

3. Is there a good walk through or tutorial anywhere?

Thanks!

Check there... you need to export the skins from inside the AH client first.

They come out as .bmp, so whatever you like to edit .bmps with!

I had read that before, forgot about it and didn't realize that it would export any skin! Thanks <S>

While not the only tutorial out there, I have tried to make it beginner-friendly. See sig for link.
