Alright I have been wondering, how in the hell do you create a new skin for a model? I know how to edit the skin exporting and importing with HLMV but I have no idea how to make (position the skin in the right place) on the image file...could someone help explain how to apply a new skin to a model?

From Jed's newest HLMV (1.3) click on the texture tab. Right under Export Texture you'll see Export UV Map. Click on it and save it in whatever directory. Figure out what goes where and then skin (http://st.gaming-interactive.com/) from there.

broken link..

anyway I tried..i cant make anything that looks halfway realistic..could someone please give me some kind of tip or something..
