Making Skins

Greetings fellow tankers,

Lately there has been alot of talk about skins for tanks. Having a look at many of them I was very interested in how to make them.

So I'm asking now If you guys can tell me how to make Think Tank skins, the programs you use and any links to any online tutorials on how to, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Moose King{MHC}

I use photo shop. IT RULES. It is about $600.00. WHat you do is find the "tanks" folder under "shapes" under "game" (or something like that) and you make a copy of Tank1 for light, Tank2 for medium, and Tank3 for Heavy. THen you put the copy somewhere you can remember. You the go onto photoshop, and open up the folder. Next, you draw all over it!!! Then save that as a JPEG image.

There is an app called Graphiic Converted US which is available for free demo on Apple's website which can be used for making/changing jpeg's.

Get GIMP. It's almost as good as photoshop, and its free. (Do a search, I dont know the url off hand)
