WoP Skinning tips and tutorials

[fenris]

Hi all,
Bearcat just gave me the heads up that there was now a WoP skinning section here and suggested I point you towards some of the documents that have been produced to assist in this endeavour.

I've produced three documents that may be of interest here.

"USING SKINTOOLS"
This was intended as an unofficial guide to using the "Skintools" pack released by the developer, which is required to load skins into the game

"SKINNING FOR WoP"
This document is the summation of the WoP skinning communities experience. It is not a how-to-skin guide, but a collection of tips and findings specific to the complexities and idiosyncrasies of the game's sophisticated skins and engine.

"WoP Aircraft Skinned to Date"
This is simply a regularly updated list of all the aircraft in the game and which skinners have skinned which aircraft. It was intended to show which aircraft have still to be skinned (there are plenty) to enable these gaps to be filled.

these are all available from my download page here -

There’s also a pinned thread on the Gaijin WoP forum called "SKINS FOR DOWNLOAD" http://forum.gaijinent.com/index.php?/topic/2647-new-skins-for-download/page__st__100
It has all the skins so far produced for the game and released on the Yuplay form. Unfortunately some of the earlier posts have lost their screenshots in the site-move from the Yuplay to Gaijin forum, though their download links still work.

Hope to see more skinners and players drawn to this great game. I find it a very gratifying environment to skin for. I hope you will too.
