British Army Skins Templates -Make your own skins!
« on: November 12, 2014, 12:55:58 am »
Well, after a few months without making any skins, and receiving lots of PMs from people asking me to make some, or wanting me to help make their own, I've decided to provide the community with my "secrets".

Down at the bottom of this thread you will find a .rar file with British skin templates, for Rankers, Officers and Musicians, which will allow you to create your own regimental skins. They come in .pdn format, with layers separating each part of the uniform, so you can edit them individually, and feature different variations for you to choose from.

Furthermore, I'll also provide you with a set of Paint.net addons I use, which will come very handy for everyone attempting to make skins.

I would only like two things in return. Personally, I couldn't care less if you credit me or not, that's up to you, since I really hope you don't limit your work just to the templates themselves.

First thing: Try to be historically accurate, if you intend to be so. I'll gladly provide you with all the materials and sources you need.

Second thing: Be creative! With this pack, you have most of the texturing work done. You wont have to fiddle around much with the texture, so play around with other things! Learn modelling, or play around with openBRF stuff. You may also borrow any models you want from my skins (Check the 47th Early War, 43rd and 29th regiment skins).

Awesome stuff Kochi.

But I was wondering if you happen to have any tutorials on making more advanced stuff, like new shakoplates and flags.

Not that I know of, sorry mate.

You can always just download paint.net, then copy-paste each layer onto GIMP or photoshop. Best solution I can come up with.
