HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Hey there, if you didnt know already, i likt to model a lot, and unfortunately, one i thing i dont know how to do is make a skin and wrap it around my model, or even just edit the existing skin to fit my model nicely through the model itself (I think its the UVW mapping but i dont know) but i found that on Milkshape, if you hit ctrl+T, it brings up a "Texture Coordinate Editor" and I was paying around with it for a while and discovered that you were basically able to take the model in pieces, and move it around on a flat image of the skin, kinda telling it what part would be wrapped where. WOW, i totally didnt know that this existed, but the only thing is, upon injecting my custom models that I overwrote the halo 2 ones with, it didnt show a skin when i wanted to do the same thing, it only showed a blank page. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this before, and if they have any knowledge about it they could maybe help me out cause i can model and skin, i just dont know how to get that skin around my model. Ill show you some pics of what im talking about, the reference ill use is the Longsword.

For Some Reason I Cant Get The Vertices On It To Edit Again... I Dont Remember How...:


And Here Is The M-4 That I Want To Wrap The Skin Around:


Thanks in advance,

I'm bumping this, because I want to do the same thing and do not know how myself, and I would really like to know.

To get the verticies to show up just select all the groups before going to the coordinate editor. Then cycle through them using the drop down box on the right. Place the verticies so that when flipped vertically they will align properly with the parts they need to be on.
