Ayo, been looking for a good one for a while. Super nice video man!
Thanks man!
This seems like a fun idea, I would like to see you toil with it.
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
Just what I need, I'd love to see more details tho! Overall great vid man!
Im so glad I know how blender works. Ill try this later!
Great guide! Do full series, it'd be awesome!
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.
This would be a dope detailed series. Especially making Photoshop into Blender etc!
Tysm for that tutorial

amaxing video , very very recommended for beginnerslike me , i will share it.
Thanks! 🥰
love it
Nice video
New series like this would be great
Already working on it ;)
nice video 👌
man i waiting for you to make a series named: rating your cs2 skins
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?
please i'd love to creato some skins/stickers, could you make a full series? its so hard to find tutorials rn...

my skin doesn't come up, everything loads up find but when i go to preview my skin it doesn't show my skin that I made in blender
Would it be possible to edit the texture using photoshop?
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?
Will I be able to play my new skin weapon on my game?.. .
when i try to open the workshop tools option it opens the game and then just completely stops. what should i do some one pls help me
Is it possible to make skins via Photoshop ? I know how to paint in photoshop, but don't know crap about Blender
when i try to publish it says publish failure: error code 2
Hi, great tutorial. Do you mind sharing how to create a sticker?
Thanks! Will do that!
I can't inspect it, I've been waiting for an hour.Can you help me?
hey! how do i make the skin metallic?
1:25 I have no image texture, what am i doing wrong?
do we need to subscribe for prime to sell skins?
It doesn't work for me, I use blender to export as a TGA and when I open my skin in the workshop it doesn't look like it did in blender
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 😁
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
Shift A ;)
gracias senior @@KnotsCS2
pls doa part 2 video with more details bro
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
I cant open my skins folder on blender, can anyone help?
what tga file can you explain
anyone got an idea what the chances are for a skin to be published into a new case?
will this work if i am using geforce now
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?
Tutorial with more details
could you make a sticker guide with the workshop tools, because I don't have the CS SDK
Sticker guide coming your way this weekend! 😁
@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
Hey! Send me a dm on discord. Easier to help you out over there :)
@KnotsCSGO i actually want to put this on a god damn ak 47,, that would be so fucking killer lol th-cam.com/video/AlXs6zsk92o/w-d-xo.html
Hello, nice video :). How can i upload a skin from my inventory to see it in blender?
You can download the texture files for a skin by going to karambit.gg
There you can input the inspect link of the skin you want to port.
@@KnotsCS2 The page is down right now, is any other method? Thanks :)
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?
cool guide but i can't draw
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 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!
Hey! Dont know exactly. Send me a dm on discord and I'm sure we can find the problem :)
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?
No idea. Send me a DM on discord and we'll figure it out! :)
full detailed video plz
On the way :)
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! 🙏
Hi! I'm not immediately sure what could cause this. Feel free to send me a dm on discord and I'm sure we'll figure out what the problem is :)
@@KnotsCS2What's your Discord?
They might not downscale the images so, try down scaling the texture to 2048x2048 and see if it fixes!
@@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.
Discord is in the description. Send me a message!
If i make a skin , can i play with it directly or i have wait for cs to accept it and sell it ?
Unfortunately you cannot play with a skin that is not officially in the game. So, You'd need to hope it gets accepted :)
How do i move arownd and look at the gun in blender?
I think thats middle mouse and drag
hey, how do i make a skin thats pattern based?
Video coming up!
I can use skin made by me in cs ? MM and primiere ?
No, unfortunately not. You can only use skins that are accepted into a collection.
im gonna make a skin now you better upvote it
Send a link in the discord! :)
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
Send me a message on discord and I'll try to help you out :)
ye i dmd u@@KnotsCS2
Its crazy tho they didnt make it easier w the new workshop tools
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
he answered in the other comment. it is Shift + A and then search
I've created one it's like 7/10 ish on blender but shit on game
i cant select the weapons in blender. the file thing is blacked out
Send me a message on discord, and I'll try to help you out :)
@@KnotsCS2 it’s ok I figured it out like 10 mins after I posted this comment xD
How can you do it? I can´t select it.
@@bakedddbean7118

Hi! Send me a message on discord and I'm sure we can figure it out.
Hi! Send me a message on discord and I'm sure we can figure it out.

dude, please make it more detailed, let the video be long🙏
Working on it right now 😁
ow can i move my camera like you at 0:56
0:56 - 0:60
Keep your middle mouse button clicked and drag.
@@KnotsCS2 thanks bro ❤
gg
but how you create a uv map that "matches" with the default uv map from cs2 weapon geometry? when I bake the texture and test in cs2, it always looks chaotic. :(
how do i create skins for knives?
That's not yet possible. Hopefully valve will add it soon :)
@@KnotsCS2thanks, and also youre the calmest person in cs2 youtube, big thumbs up
First
did not work :(
amazing guide but to be honest, this is a lot for a person with -ve creativity like me
what about stickers?
I dont have a clue how that works, but I'm looking into it now. You can expect a tutorial in a week or so 😉
Thanks :) @@KnotsCS2
guys can anyone tell me how to add rar files to blender
You should probably unpack it first. What do you want to import? A 3d model or a texture?
@@KnotsCS2i want to unpack gun models
@@KnotsCS2 thx i unpacked them and i like your vids
You forgot the links lol
whoops. Added them now :D
not work
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
Hit me up on discord! This method should still work
what is this? XD
it is not working?.... but why?
i am watched this 5 times bruh it is not working
Instead of right clicking of the texture editor and clicking search. Click add, texture, image texture, and then follow the steps given in the video
