How do I edit a models skin.

[Vega Nite]

I was wondering, how do you edit a skin. I've been trying for a while and I can't figure it out. Is it in a folder or is it in the models file. Can someone help me? Oh and I use milkshape and 3ds Max.

skiny is hard at 1st..but anyway... 1st skin ya make prolly gonan look plain and cartoony. but then ya start getting more detailed stuff .. anyway.. programs ya need or should use.. Halflife Model Viewer,Wally. halflife model viewer lets u look at any Mdl file.. mdl=model.. even look at its animation... but once u get hlmv open a mdl file. then click on texture on the bar and it will shows its skin(s).. export them skins.. and open them with wally.. and after u done editeing the skins or making them save it. and import it on the same one u exported it.. example.. i exported vegetas arm skin.. i edited it.. saved it .. and imported the new arm skin over the old one.. hlmv,wally those 2 programs ya need for skining.. .. *got my fingers hurt now* ..
