What File do I extract with FinalBig To use Skins from ZH on the Tank model I made? Nvm, I found it. Textures.big, right?

Yep. Textures.big or TexturesZH.big, depending on which skins you want to extract.

I got another problem with the skinning now... Every time I select and apply a skin to my Model, its just a colorfull mess. The tutorial Krit gave me said its normal, and needs to be worked on. Now, the problem is, The tutorial says: [quote]What we need to is be able to see the skin so we know where to put the bits. at the top right is a dropdown box with a line thru it. drop it down and click "Pick Texture". on the window that pops up, double click on the black box labelled "Bitmap", and find your skin file. There we go. Now make room by selecting all the vertecies and move them outside the boundary. [/quote] Now, my Problem? I have no clue what that mean. lol. Heres as far as I got: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/Piffy_2006/Skinning.jpg

Select everything on the Edit UVW window and move them off the area where the skin is displayed.

Like so? http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/Piffy_2006/Skin.jpg

Yeah. It doesn't really do anything much it does make skinning abit more simplier as you don't have vertices scattered all over your working space which can easily confuse you.

[/quote] I had the same Problem with skinning, but to do it you just need to make each part of the tank in seperate parts (like in the skinning/boning tutorial) and make sure you go to Edit->unwrap UVW other wise when you try to edit it, when you move the verticies it won't let the changes stay and they'll 'teleport' back to the origonal spot. Edit them one at a time by selecting only one part.
