LOL I give up on trying to skin ANYTHING with wood!

I may be good at skinning SOME things, but wood just ain't one of them. Oh sure I can get something looking sorta decent, but my little secret is that for my personal skins (that no one else sees) I keep ripping off eSkwaad and [SLHR]Gen. Those two are the best at wooden stocks. I just can't come close to matching them.

This useless post comes after wasting HOURS of trying to get a springfield stock to look right, just to to end up trashing the whole PSD.

I've been thinking...
What if you, eSkwaad and [SLHR]Gen specialized at what you guys do best and work on a collaborative project?

That would be cool.

More collaboration, thats whats needed here to give the MSA community a wee bit of a boost!!!.

PM me if I can be of any help with regards to "Stickies" or anything, where we can get skinners and modellers "hooked up" to discuss any projects you fellas might come up with. :cool:

If anybody was confused, I'm [SLHR]Gen.

I'm completely the other way around, I find making a nice wood texture a hell of a lot easier than getting anything metal looking good (as Brutal knows well from my constant nagging for tips), let's collaberate :p

Wile E, register at www.sourceblog.org and find a tutorial by Brutal. This will help you a bunch, and if you need crits on the skin post a wip on the sourceblog forums and some of the members can help :)

dont give up man, i use to think just like that. then i started creating new brushes and whatnot and just kept workin on it.
