Need help at skinning

[MxFelix]

Hey guys, I'm new here to MXB 

I need your help, while I want to learn to skin own bikes and stuff.

First of all, I downloaded the templates for bikes parts and so on.

Can you give me a brief overview about the skinning-process of a bike?

Thanks for your help

- open your psd in photoshop
- skin it (hard part)
- save it has a .tga file
- put the tga file in a folder and name it as the bike you'll use. (msm/yzf/rmz/crf...)
- open PaintEd (here http://www.mx-bikes.com/?page=downloads) and open your folder, then export your .pnt file.
-put the pnt file in "programmefiles/MXBikes/Bikes/yourbike/Paints
-Ride it !

At first thank u!

1. Can I take the templates and edit them in Photoshop and add a new Layer to it with my skins?

2. Is it possible to copy graphics from Google or do I have to draw by hand because of the resolution?

[StoneRider]

lol, you can do whatever you want....! but yeah, don't just put a photo. and logos. skin it

[MxFelix]

[MxFelix]

yeah, it's my first Project and I decided to take time and make it as nice as possible!

Hopefully there are no language problems cause I'm from Germany..

Another question:

If I want to make a skin for the new RMZ which was released by Vortex_Damien, can I take the template from piboso or do I have to take a template from this bike?

You need the template from the RMZ, it's the same with all bikes.

Sorry for the dumb question, but where do I get that from? I downloaded the bike, but there is no template

That's not a dumb question your learning, just send a PM to the Bike Maker.

I'm going to steal this thread since it's related and may help Felix also..

Can u guys give some advice on making a simple black fender not look pure black? Is there a trick or is a simple lighter shade selection going to help?

It depends. Often I'll use a very dark grey for black rims just to give them a bit more clarity, but sometimes when riding I think they're too grey.

Ok thx. I'll play with various shades.
