Most of the tutorials i see in skinning involves a skin base. I was wondering, how do you make a skin when you have only a wire frame or wire map to begin with? :unsure:
You download a skin base that matches a wireframe from the FFbaseskins1 yahoo group.
If you only have a wireframe then you either have to adapt a baseskin to fit the wiremap, with a lot of cutting and pasting. Or you make a new base skin (only for experience skinners)

Thanks for replying Lunarman. A lot of cutting and pasting eh,will try that. Maybe some of the experienced skinners here would like to give some tips or tutorials...on making a new base skin? :rolleyes: Well, will try and experiment more for the meantime. :P
Check the pinned topic at the top of this forum. It has loads of tips and tricks for skinning.

Well, the idea first came to me when i read in some threads here, that a few people are requesting the wiremaps of certain meshes/skins/skopes as an alternative, when the mesh/skin/skope they wanted couldn't be released by the one who made them. :unsure:
Also,while i was attempting to skin an alchemiss_straighthair_nocape mesh/sailorvenus and a female_amazon mesh, I was a bit confused with the way the skins were displayed.It was kinda jumbled :wacko: and unlike most skins i'm familiar with,like C6 base skins,Gryphon's base skins. So I was probably trying to find an easier way of understanding how to skin these types of meshes. :blink: Anyways, i'll try to review the available tutorials here. Then maybe just start with something more simple instead. :P
