P.S. could some1 also tell me how to get the MC models out of Halo in lightray 3d... or 3DS max? thx.

Hmm I don't know about 3ds max and everything Ok to Start skinning warthogs Im going to have a full list of details so Get ready! :p

First you would need a Paintshop any is suitable but Jasc Paintshop Pro Is Recommended.

now you will need Convim, google search it and download it.

You will need Halo Map Tools (HMT)

Open up HMT Goto Bitmaps 448 Items Scroll down to Vehicles As you make your selection.

To the middle right look for Save Texture Save it to where you wish. Open up convim Convert the DDS To Windows Bitmap. convert it to where you wish.

Open up Paints Select the File that you convim'd And badaboom time to skin it!. If this doesn't help you look in the Tutorial Sections In Files.halomods.com or Halomds.com/forums

There you go.!

Edit: Forgot one more thing After you done and satifyed with your skin go back to convim and convert it DDS Dxt1 texture. And inject it. if your not satifyed don't throw away your Bitmap the The selected thing you skinned that ways you can always work on it over and over again!
