A lot of it is just knowing what makes a certain texture look like that texture. Other times, people pull real images and work with that. Most of it though, is learning how to do specific things in Photoshop. Rather than looking for tutorials on how to make a realistic or detailed skin for JKA, you'll want to look up tutorials on how to make hair from scratch, for example. Or how to make leather from scratch. Then implement them all into your skin.

I'll be making a legit tutorial (giving credit to various people) here soon once I get more comfortable with it. Add me on Steam or Skype (see profile) and I can help you out, maybe.

Only the pieces you moved to the layer. So in your case it would probably be head_0.001 and other head/face related ones. One thing that helped keep things organized for me was to change the visible hierarchy to only the layer you're on: I also couldn't/didn't need to rename as much stuff as previously mentioned. All I had to rename was the parent. Everything else was fine and exported fine. Though I've only done capes so far. Maybe heads are different.

Whoa. Finally figured it out. Just whipped this up tonight.

What was wrong with @@Psyk0Sith's Ongree? http://jkhub.org/files/file/1813-pablo-jill-ongree-species/

The import tools work with the latest version, yeah. @@Tavik maybe if you post your own version of a tutorial like @ did we can get an even better idea. Particularly with screenshots, because the interface is pretty confusing.

Right, Rosh uses the Stinger in both NPC's that he has. When he's training, and when he turned to the dark side. There should be two different sabers anyway, though he should have the mass produced reborn saber when he's on the dark side though.

I believe Rosh uses a training saber in the first few levels of the game. Could give him that one. A training saber wouldn't have to be too basic. Maybe just simplify that design a bit or something.

I get confused after this: Screenshots would help in this case. I'm not sure where to find a lot of this stuff you are referring.

Not any specific for JKA yet. It seems really simple, as I said in this thread. I also mentioned @@Mandalorian has had success with his own method with it, but I think he's been too busy to write one up. I offered to be guided over Skype IM or something and then I'll write a tutorial once I get it down.

Fair enough. @@Mandalorian has a similar method and I was hoping he'd make one as well.

Can we get a tutorial on how to do this?

Happy Holidays! It's that time of year again folks, where we partake in the holiday tradition of giving and eating good food, for those of us who observe. Last year we tried out the White Elephant Gift Exchange, and it went well, but we have decided to go back to Secret Santa this year! How it works This will work just like it did before. Any registered JKHub user can participate in this (if you're not registered yet, click here). If you are certain you are both willing and able to spend time creating a (small) mod or present for someone, you can sign up by PMing a wishlist and a list of your abilities to the Secret Santa account. We will semi-randomly assign you another person to send a gift to. This means that the items on the list are somewhat able to be made by the person we choose. (list of skins assigned to a texture artist, etc) To answer your first question: no, the person you're sending a gift is not the same person who's sending you a gift. You will then have until December 23rd to make a gift for the person you have been assigned. For example, a neat graphic, a small mod, etc. You can go all out if you'd like, but it doesn't have to be something big. The gift does not have to be something that's on the receiving person's gift list, but it is of course preferable if possible. Feel free to make it personal, of course. That would make it warm and fuzzy and special. Once you are done creating your gift, you should PM it to the same account, Secret Santa. On Christmas Day (December 25th), you will be sent a gift anonymously. If you sent a gift yourself, you are guaranteed to receive one. If you fail to send a gift, you will not receive anything yourself. You can attach the gift to the PM or host it on a safe file hosting site like Dropbox or Mediafire. Things worth mentioning A couple things to make this as smooth as possible. Your list should not contain only gifts that are too large and unreasonable to create. For example, requesting a bunch of personal models would be unreasonable. Sure, feel free to request something large you've always wanted into one or two entries on your list, but have more modest entries as well. If we feel your list is too unreasonable, we will ask you to edit it. Your gift list should be reasonably broad or have some variation in it. For example, don't make your only request a map. Your Secret Santa might be someone who has no idea how to make maps. You must be a modder or artist of some kind to participate - be it a skinner, a mapper, or even a graphics designer. You must know how pk3 files work if making a mod, obviously. Some ideas (Be as detailed as possible with all requests you list): A forum signatureAn avatarA recoloring of an existing skinA very small, modest map (It's up to the mapper to go beyond small and modest if he/she wants to)A modest model, such as a very simple saber hiltA very, very modest code modThe list goes on, but in any case, be detailed in what you want, and remember to have some variety in listing what you want, in case someone does not have the time, motivation or skill needed to fulfill a specific request. Recap JKHub is doing a super cool and fun Secret Santa event. To sign up: Be capable of making a small mod or graphic.Be absolutely sure you have the time and motivation to create a small mod or graphic for somebody anonymouslySend a PM to the Secret Santa account listing some things you might want, and your skillsets. Do this before Sunday the 30th of November.You will receive a PM from the same account with details of how to proceed, as well as someone's wishlist, at some point around the 30th.Make a small mod, graphic, or otherwise neat thing for the receiving person and send it to the Secret Santa account before the 23rd of DecemberReceive your gift on December 25th Gifts are not allowed to be physical (don't send someone a book, socks, etc), should be JKA/JK2/JKHub-related, and there may not be any money involved from either party for obvious reasons. Post any questions you have and we hope to see you all sign up! Click here to view the article

It spawns reborns? Would be better to spawn the prisoner, don't you think?

I know it's supposed to be dark, but it might be a tad too dark in those pics.

There seems to be an issue with the holsters, so redsaurus is going to look into it soon.

My bad. Cool. @@Rooxon, could you change it to that for the Zefilus hilt? Gonna test this out.

Shouldn't need much more change to the color. I like the green, it was just a bit too bright and plain before. Looks better now. All these hilts will be used though, that's why you posted your designs, no?

What is the tag name then? Rooxon made it "tag_holster", but wouldn't it need to match what you set it as?

Alright, let's ease up. Yes, he's requested a lot (and he knows that), but let's just leave it. If someone wants to take up the request, great. No need to go slightly off-topic with why he should stop requesting, when it's not really hurting anyone.

That's if they get the new skeleton finished. It hasn't been worked on in awhile I don't think. I can give you some stuff to work on if you'd like.

I'm still up for experimenting with sounds, yeah, but I can't promise it'll be soon as the end of the semester is basically here and I'll be busy with my school audio projects and other schoolwork. But yeah I'll definitely get to them at latest by my winter break in a few weeks.

I'm not a huge fan of the green. Maybe if it were more obvious what the texture/material is supposed to be, but right now it looks kind of awkward. The shaders make it look a bit better, but I think going back and making sure the textures themselves are as good as they can be before relying on shaders. I say this because I know you are a great texture artist and can do it. Also I think the hand tag (whatever its called where the hand goes) should be a tad higher. The left hand was at the very bottom of the hilt in-game. The staff hilts will probably be holstered on the back, is my guess. Still need @@redsaurus to verify this stuff and implement the new tags. I don't think it would look very good for a half meter hilt to be hanging from the belt. @ those look good. Maybe for the Alora hilt on the right, widen the base of the hilt a little bit like you did the top.
