Creating Skins - Beginner
When creating skins for your Pavlov Map you will need a few things.
You will need:
- Adobe Substance Painter 3D
- (Alternatives) Quixel Mixer, Blender or Substance Painter Student License
- Your weapon model with bake maps from Pavlov Artists
Now you have those things you can find a tutorial for Adobe Substance 3D, or you can find one for your alternative (We strongly do not encourage you pirate or fraud for a version of Adobe Substance as it puts you at risk)
Problems with Gun Skin Making
Common problems with Gun Skin Making are:
- Skin showing up as grey checkerboard
- Skin not working at all or in different place
- Lighting or skin flickering problems
Skin showing up as a grey checkerboard:
Mostly caused from you not using the custom materials in Pavlov Artist's modkit or your material isn't set up correctly, make sure you follow the tutorial and install the custom materials modkit in the project files.
Skin not working at all or in different place:
Two things: Your skin requires the switch slots to be ticked or you haven't touched your skin box zone which is the outline box surrounding your skinbox blueprint in the editor.
Most guns what are not pistols or throwable use switch slots so thats why your textures are in different places.
If you do not touch your skinbox zone then it will not apply the skin. If you want a constant skin then make sure the skin box zone covers the spawns or the whole map with scaling.
Lighting or skin flickering problems
You haven't set up your sphere reflection or built the light, but if you have then you haven't setup the skinbox correctly.
Creating Character Skins
Pretty much your doing the same as you do with guns using the character models found in the resource channel of Pavlov Artists. I would stick to to the normal character textures.
But if you want for an example an all gold NATO skin then you can make one, just expect a few issues a long the way.
Personal Skins
In order to make a personal skin you will need THW Reaper's skinbox from the modkit channel (CustomPlayers Skinbox) it uses playerids (names/steamids) to assign personal skins, as of now it works.
If it breaks in the future contact TWH Reaper in Pavlov Artists.
