Reskinning

[Spunky]

I kinda need help reskinning a model. Never done it before, want to learn. I got Half-Life Model Viewer, PS CS3, blah blah blah. My problem is, when I export the textures out of the HLMV and open them in Photoshop for editing, I can't save it in the same format it exported in, so when I import, I get a "Cannot load BMP" error.

Solution? Alternate software? Halp!

u need to make the texture 256 color (indexed) to work in hl.
how to do that?
when you're done with the texture in ps press the image tab, image>mode>indexed, and save the texture. hlmv should load it now.
anyway a tip, decompile the model when you reskin it,import to any modeling program, you can see the texture better in self illumination when u work on it
