Very good guide, I'd love to see more. Personally for me I've always wanted to learn how to use blender to make better looking skins, I've had it downloaded for the longest time but never made the step to actually learn how to use it. Better late than never.
is someone know, what button you push on keyboard to make appear that box at 1:27 where he then goes in search,, and then texture material,, im blocked right there
I was just browsing some skins and randomly came across my mind "What if I just make a my own skin", then the quote "If it was easy, everyone would have done it." instantly slapped me in the head. lol
Great video, i hope to see full series. It's short and full of information. And for blender user, that's me 😊 , this is perfect. Now i am going to use my own skins for playing CS2 :D
Mann that looks complicated, please do a series. But for starters how do you add a image file onto the skin? Like surely you can do the artwork on proper drawing software and port the image to the skin right?
Yeah, definitely. you can draw in any software and add the image the same way we did in this video. Instead of our texture we just select the file we want to use
how do you place that image texture at 1:27,,,, i mean,, i dont know fuck all about this program,, what are the shortcut to open that box then choose add texture material,,i cant even find it
Please update how to make skins with the brand new settings of the new workshop for CS2. There are so much new stuff that is completely new. Thank you❤
For drawing check some blender tutorials. Don't forget to select material that you have created in 'material' tab (lower righ Earth like icon), than in UV editor at top of the window choose your skin, in edit mod select all and than head to "texture painting". I hope this helps a little. It's hard to explain without video. But you should check some blender youtubers like " Ryan King" and "Blender guru". They have plenty of begginer and advanced blender tutorials. They are the best and most of the things that i have learend, enough to make my own models and publish at Unity and Unreal marketplace. Can't wait to try this skin editing and to publish my own skins and to play woth them in CS2 finally 😊
im unable to open the files in blender, its showing me that the files i have downloaded for the weapons are videos and theyre unable to play bc my software doesnt recognixe obj. how do i fix this
on 2:00 when u select the skin on editing mode and the pieces go on the texture so that u can see what u paint your pieces all go inside the square, mine go over the edges so that i cant paint them so what should i do?
Thank you so much for such an informative video!! please tell me, is there any way to download a scan for separate coloring of parts and then just upload it back to the blender? for example, if you want to make "full-fledged art" on the scan, and not just paint over the details with color, is it possible to import the scan into any 2d drawing program?
First off, good video man. I'm having a bit of a problem here. For some reason the skin is not properly applied to the weapon model in game. I imported the model of the usp-s into blender and created the image and the material. After drawing my skin I saved the image to skin.png file onto my pc. Then I used vtfedit to export it to an tga file and copied that file to materials/custom/skin.tga. The game is able to "load" the skin, but it is not properly shown on the gun model. Anybody with a similar problem or even an solution?
When publishing the skin or sticker, is it only possible to publish just one photo? How can I post several photos to make it look like a "carousel" of images?
@KnotsCS yo budy,, great vids, thx for the info, im just a dinosaur with these kind of stuff, im trying cause, im an artist, and i thing ill have really great idea for weapons skins,,, only thing,, ive miss the, how to add an image texture,, like youve done at 1:27, i mean, i cant even have or find the little box where its says search , like i see you do,, can did i do something wrong ? or you need to already have an image texture,,, im just,, lol ,, lost,, find this a bit complicated,, thx man
Bro what does publish failure: error code 2 mean. I keep getting that but my skins are getting published but the publish is empty (file size is 0.000b and there is no thumbnail or name to it)
Hi, Great video! However I have encountered a problem. When I project an image (illustration) to the mesh, it looks good in Blender and the texture is fine. I export it as a targa and when it comes into CS2, it looks pixelated and there are blocky artifacts. I also tried Substance Painter and the same thing is happening. I don't know what's causing it. I'm using 4k texture resolution for custom paint job and gunsmith. If you know what I'm doing wrong and have a solution, please let me know. Thank you! 🙏
@@whozproxyDoesn't work unfortunately. I see people using 4k and have no problems so there must be something wrong with my targa export settings. I'll ask around. Thanks.
bro i need a guide i got everyhting till the part were u get workshop eneblaing after i restarted my game i got into the consloe but i dont hve the command worshop_workbench can u help me pls?
Hola. ESTOY DISEÑANDO SKINS, con BLENDER, PHOTOSHOP, y VTF, a la vez. Puedo probarlas en el WorkShop, pero luego no puedo usarlas en el juego, que es lo que me interesa. Se necesita tener la cuenta PRIME para ello, o existe otra forma?
I am receiving this error "Failed to compile associate context for "weapons/paints/workshop/gs_paintkit_example.vcompmat" IDk what the issue is or could be. any clue?
Im new to cs2 skin making, my skin shows up metallic for some reason, like chrome shiny, is there a reason for this? Was it because of the gunsmith folder option? Many thanks!
Doesnt work, VTFEdit say Error loading image even tho i repeated step after step took me over 2 hours i repeated the same stuff 3 times didnt work, womp womp Update your video please im trying to get some money over here

gracias senior @@KnotsCS2
Quick tip, you do not need VTF Editor as Blender can directly export to TGA Format.
Yep, I found that out aswell😅.
Thanks for the tip!
@@KnotsCS2 Np, waiting for the sticker tutorial.
How do you do this with blender?
How
I was just browsing some skins and randomly came across my mind "What if I just make a my own skin", then the quote "If it was easy, everyone would have done it." instantly slapped me in the head. lol
Making skins is easy. Now, making good skins, thats a problem...
I am starting today with skins. No need for money. If i easrn something, great, if don't at least i will play with those skins 😁
Great video, i hope to see full series. It's short and full of information.
And for blender user, that's me 😊 , this is perfect. Now i am going to use my own skins for playing CS2 :D
man i waiting for you to make a series named: rating your cs2 skins

Thanks! 🥰
dude, please make it more detailed, let the video be long🙏
Working on it right now 😁

can you use the skin u created in an actualy game ? if so how?
4.42 minutes for this guy 4.4 years for me
love your video thanks for sharing
Mann that looks complicated, please do a series.
But for starters how do you add a image file onto the skin? Like surely you can do the artwork on proper drawing software and port the image to the skin right?
Yeah, definitely. you can draw in any software and add the image the same way we did in this video. Instead of our texture we just select the file we want to use
please do full skin creation and please upload more i love this
Fantastic tutorial
great work!
Bro, this skin is cool 😮
im having a problem, in vtf edit blender projects wont appear anywhere in any of my files when i use import
Is there a way to use this skin in game? Just for personal visual or it needs to be accepted by valve and then get it from a case?
How do i equip the skin? WE NEED A PART TWO!
Lads, make sure to watch Viper Skin's guide if you want to make more detailed and textured skins
Wish me luck. I've just created a skin and it got rejected. So, I submitted another one, good?
i wish you luck!!!!
Updates?
how do you place that image texture at 1:27,,,, i mean,, i dont know fuck all about this program,, what are the shortcut to open that box then choose add texture material,,i cant even find it

nice tutorial ty
on 2:00 when u select the skin on editing mode and the pieces go on the texture so that u can see what u paint your pieces all go inside the square, mine go over the edges so that i cant paint them so what should i do?
Did you set the size of the texture correctly? When you have selected all the pieces you can use 'S' to scale them.
yeah i put the image at 2048x2048 it seems to just go over the image even if i scale it to 10000x10000@@KnotsCS2
and even if i scale the weapon down it doesnt change anything on the image side@@KnotsCS2

@@KnotsCS2What's your Discord?
They might not downscale the images so, try down scaling the texture to 2048x2048 and see if it fixes!
