Hey guys. Im goin to show you how to make a CS:S knife skin! (Simple torturial)
Firts you will need 2 programs! VTF.edit PhotoShop Cs5 or GIMP And of course WINRAR (You will need WinRAR to downloade the "Simple black knife)
And then we need a simple black knife we can work on. Simple Black Knife <-----[Click on the TXT to get it :P]
When you got all the programs lets start! And read it closly to do it right
Step 1: Controll. place all the programs and the knife on the desktop so it is easy to finde them.
Step 2: Extract. Right click on the simple black knife and press "Extract here" Then you should get a folder named "Models" on your desktop.
Step 3: Folders. Once you have done that open up the folder named "Models" and click on all the folders inside it, untill you get to a folder named "Knife_t". Then drag the "knife_t" folder into your desktop.
Step 4: Witch one? Then open the "Knife_t" folder and then drag the upper file into your (i thing you allready know it :]) desktop. Also I forgot to say that you can delete the "Model " folder. You will not need it anymore.
Step 5: VTF Edit. Now its time to use some fancy programs! Open your "VTF.Edit" program. Then click on "File" and after that "Open" and go to "Desctop" and scroll down to your finde "
Step 5,5: You got it? Then you should get this
Step 6: Export. Now go on "File" again and press "Export". Then you Export it into your desktop. (change the name to "Knife_t1)
Step 7: Start the painting. Okay now we have gotten this far. Since we have Exported the "Knife_t" from beeing a VTF.File into a TGA.File we can now open it in GIMP or PhotoShop to paint it. READ 7.5 AND 8 FIRST!
Step 7,5: Delete who? uupsie! We have 2 "Knife_t". We have to delete one of them. Delete the one named "Knife_t" and not the "Knife_t1". So its easier to have some controll.
Step 8: What is what? Before we start painting it i will show you guys that what is what on the "knife" becaus you might dont know what is what.
Step 9: JUST PAINT IT GOD DAMMIT! Now lets start the painting
Step 9: Look at mine. Okay now im done with the painting. Take a look
Step 10: What now? Now finaly were done with the painting. Let us save it. Save it as a TGA.File and name it "Knife_t2" and not "knife_t1". And if it comes automatically .TGA behind "knife_t2" you must delete it. (save it on the desktop.)
Step 11: Are we done yet? Now were almost finished. On your desktop you should have 2 files. Knife_t1 and Knife_t2, Just delete the Knife_t1 file, we dont have any need for it anymore. and name the Knife_t2 file Knife_t.
Step 12: VTF.Edit again? Once you have deleted the knife_t1 open up VTF.Edit and press "file" then "save as". Name it "knife_t" and dont save it on the desktop but in the "Knife_t" folder.
Step 13: Use the skin. Now were actually done We just have to put the skin in use.
Go to Start - Computer - Local Disk - Program Files (x86) - Steam - Steamapps - *YOUR USER NAME* - Counter Strike: Source - Cstrike - Materials - Models - Weapons - V Models. Once you in V-Models drag and drop the "knife_t" folder in it. (NOTE: If your missing some of the Folders like "models" or "Weapons" just create the folders by right click and press "New" then "folder" and name the folder what your missing.)
Step 14: Testing it. Now when were done we can test it Look at mine
