Well thanks to Jibba-Jabba for the motivation to start skining.

I have started my first skin. It really has no historic value to it, just learning at this point.

I have the Allied Player Skin to where I am ready to use and it looks okay in game. My question is this, Which VTF. do I use to skin the arms that you see in the First Person View? My arms do not match my camo skin.

Or is it even a VTF file?

Here is my first attempt at skinning.

The sleeve skin should be in your dod/materials/models/weapons/hands folder as "us_sleeve.vtf".

I would say it's bad because of historical reasons, but it's very nice for being your first.

Try putting it on the German skin. It might look nicer on it.

Okay, I have found the arm to skin. If it was a snake it would have bit the hell out of me.

Question now is, when I skin this, where do I place the folder, can it go in the Player/American folder or do I need to make a seperate folder?

Thanks for the positive comments. Again it was just to pratice. I do however plan to do a Axis model.

I also want to do a 101st Airborne with the rare eagle with the white tounge patch and the 7th Airborne as well.

I think it looks great. I'm not a historical fanatic. I just use models/skins that I think looks cool. And this looks cool.:cool:

Thanks EZ.

This skin is ready for download if anyone wants it.

It is in our download section at www.sofwdodclan.com

I agree with ez. I don't play the game for historical accuracy. I go for the skins and models that look good & I'd like to see in my game. And, your first attempt at doing a Player model looks far, far better than mine ever have. :)
