You use the same function, just browse to the file instead of a picture.

you use imageshack or photobucket for image hosts, and use filefront or similar file hosts.

You need to put MORE effort in your skins.

The bitmap is mirrored across the model. So words that appear upright on one place show up upside down in others. It really detracts from any work that was put into the imagery.

You get rid of the part that mirrors?

Eh. The basis for all of your skins shouldn't be just Blink 182. Use new ideas, come up with something original. The skins is bad to be honest. But keep at it.

You can go into ce, and fix all the UVW's and have a lower quality bitmap.

Below is not going to be a flame. Its going to be a kick in your ass to hopfully wake you up some. Remeber that when reading.

Im choosing here to reply to the skins you have been releasing here lately now that ive had time to actually download them and view them and all I can say is .."WTF". The Blink182 thing is by far played out by now and if your trying to give them some kind of tribute in your skins then your disgracing all to hell. Your skins look like resized wallpapers converted to .dds. Nothing more, nothing less. This comment goes very true with that hog skin.

NOw for this tank one all you did is slap a Blink182 logo on two places on the tank and colored the whole bitmap black. Dude, no effort at all. I would even venture to say the "Elephant tank skin" had more effort in it and that skin looked like a child drew in paint on it.

One could simply argue that these are you first skins and your learning but that statement doesnt fly in the case since you have released multipul skins in this section and proved you do know placement in the skins themselves. Your not progressing or not trying to from what im seeing. You really need to find something else besides Blink182 and actually give a shat about what your offering to people to download.

some advice->
the next time you make a skin and you think it done work on it 2 hours more. then send a pm to "Mr. Brightside, JK-47 or Philly" showing them it. They will tell you if its worth posting or not and how to fix it up some more before you make a fool out of yourself again posting rushed/uninspired skins. After you do what they say then post it. Your creditability as a skinner and halo modder is based on what you offer people and so far your down to -20 in my book.

Final thoughts-
i can understand your trying dude i can but it seems like you refuse to try to do any real work at all. if you want to release non sense then thats your call. just be perpared for people to rag on you for posting it.

if you want to get better then actually take about a hour on a skin. skin each part and not slap a wallpaper on the thing. your only hurting yourself by taking the easy way out.
