Would love to see a discord community for help :)

Hey cant connect the meshes with Ctrl + J? Any Suggestions?

Hey Viper! When i create a node i do not have a dot for connection on it. So the time is 18:18 and i have same stuff as you but i couldn't connect my Wood group to any other things. Did i miss anything or it is the version issue?

Everytime I try to take the metal texture off the grip it takes the metal part off everything but the grip

Hey, would be great if you upload, not a lot of good skin making channels you know. But if you have other things in life, that's also understandable

Hello Viper, my good man! First of all! Awesome work! All of the videos are great. After a bit of struggle I used the combined series with the texture custom art video to finally create an own skin as complete newbie. But I ran into a little problem and I hope you can help me. My colours are for some reason too bright and too dark, but I dont get why, cause they are actually not bright and not dark... Can I control that somehow? The texture of the metal is too bright, while looking a bit dark for my opinion and the wood is actually too bright for my opinion, but still not accepted by the tool... I am totally confused, there are far brighter and also darker skins in the shop and also in the game... Edit: I could brighten the wood, now this is fine, but it says the metal is still too bright, even while parts of it, are purely black lol, is it because of the metallic thing?

Amazing tutorial. I will start making skins for me and my son. DO I have to publish them if I make it just for personal use, not for sale? Also do they need to be accepted if made only for personal use? Thanks again. Your videos may seem long, but they are packed with so much info, that I had to pause and replay every step.

hi love your videos i need help i get this error Resource Compile Items: Failed. (Error: -1073741819) when i inspect or preview a weapon i saw you asked in the discussion on steam and you had a temporary fix can you do a video on how to do what you did for a temporary fix

a lot of err on workshop

hi man can show me on photoshop edit the image

hhhhh man thanks i ge 2 days i dont find it

Viper is a great painkiller for people struggling with blender! Singing "viper is a legend, viper is a legend" over and over after I had this problem for dayyyys

Great video! You have my sub! "But Viper my good man" I'm having an issue when putting the normal map onto the weapon (Glock) in the cs2 workshop. Looks like it is showing parts of the mesh in the map and has other strange artifacts like on the back of the handle (square bump) Keep the videos up man, really good teacher!

thank you very much, it was very helpful!

Is there any quick way to convert your albedo map so it can be mettalic values without losing skin visibility?

You are the light of my life, thanks <3

thank you for creating such fun and educational content! im a designer who loves skins and cant wait to get started.

Hi Viper! Thanks for another great tutorial. But I have some problem. I follow you step by step until the fifth minute of the video. The only thing I use is a different base color - flesh color (Hex:E8D2B5). After that, I try to draw on the weapon, for example, in bright red. However, this is barely noticeable on the weapon, the color is faded, although everything looks correct on the UV sheet. I will be glad of any help in this matter.

I don't know how to select the other mesh in the shading part all it does is either colour all of it or colour the other part, does anyone know how to fix, I'm using blender 4.2

How does the process work of continuing the painting? Say if I get the body done, but want to move onto the barrel or scope, how can I also apply my artwork onto that while keeping the body complete as well? I've tried to do it, but nothing seems to be working and I've had to redo the model over and over again.

Any idea why a black metal material is flashing pink in convar-albedo?

can you show how to "Endrit" do the "Verdant Web" skin in Workshop

Can we submit custom weapon models or is the geometry fixed? I guess normal map baking is the only way to simulate new geometry? Thanks for the videos; I appreciate you :)

I can`t find the " Texture Slots" ;(

It seems that you made the entire image transparent!

Thanks for the awesome video! <3 My skin is almost done but i have one problem: I painted the scope, barrel, bipod and the nuts but when I inspect it in the workshop tool, the colours are not applied on the skin. I found some comments about this issue but I dont understand how to fix it.

Hello viper! I recently picked up your videos by pure chance when trying to learn about making cs skins, and your videos are really nice! In the tutorial where you made the nova relic you said you would cover the other method of using masking instead of taking it apart, normally if my skin didn’t require both patina, and custom paint job this wouldn’t be an issue, but with what I’m trying to make requires both finishes on the same part of the gun, could you please help me out?

how to get the body of the awp?

Workshop submissions seem absolutely brutal, submitted 3 skins and they all seem to get crazy negative reviews no matter what.

What should I do if when I open GIMP I get the following message: "Image editor cloud not be launched, ensure that the path in User Preferences > File is valid Blender has rights to launch it".

Hey again Viper! Hope you upload some more of your awesome creations soon, in regards to my last issue uploading a skin, it happened to be one of the newer updates to my AMD drivers which included Anti Lag 2.0, reverted back a few versions and voila, fixed :)

My problem is, when i try to save my work in shading, it is not working to me save the different parts to png files. Every shade, or in edit mode to select the parts is only show me the selected parts, not the final result in the alpha texture why? Bc when i save the same result as u, it is saved the png files, but when i open the png files, it didnt show me the result.

Your videos are super helpful, however believe CS2 workshop has limited AMD GPUS, I recieve compling issue every single time i try to preview/inspect the final product, I was wondering if i could send you my Blend file and see if it works for you or if there is an obvious mistake. Made it through the whole building series for it to fail at the workshop step

When I want to inspect the skin in the workshop editor after I selected the UV map it loads up a window thats says: Resource Compile Items: Failed. (Error: -1073741819) . What do Ido in this case?

cool or should i say cold

Thank you sir

Hi Viper thanks for all the tuto you have done it's realy helpful, I tried combining your tutorial on CS2 with this one because I wanted to color my engraving. I made sure to follow everything carefully, but now I can color everything EXCEPT my engraving itself ^^' I might have made a simple mistake, do you have any idea where it could have gone wrong?

Best tutorial

I dont have the texture slot in 1:08 so I cant use Bump. Can somebody tell me why?

Hi Viper, im having problems with the offsets of the skins i made even if a put all to 0, can you help me or give some advise??

Hello Mr Viper, watched your series a lot of times and I'm slowly understanding all the steps. There are a few questions. 1st: The metallic look of some parts (which I turned off in blender) isnt there, even after tweaking and uploading the material mask 2nd: not all parts of the weapon got the finish which i showed up in blender (of course I have marked all before baking)

Viper i need ur help! a contest has been launched by face it on making the best cs2 community map that might be added to the game, and i honestly know nothing about making them, and since i couldnt find anypne i understood his tutorials better than you, i came to you, so would you pleaaaase make a tutorial on making cs2 maps, i really wanna get a map on cs2

It looks amazing man

It so sad the nova relic skin didnt get accepted, it was made with love and passion

Man you have saved me a whole lot of time learning blender and gimp and wasting a ton of time, for real man thank you, your tutorials helped alot man, its so sad the nova relic still didnt get accpeted, im also sad i cant publish my skins since i dont have a bank account, i made some really nice skins using ur videos and had alot of fun in the way, so seriously, huge thanks
