I appreicate your kindness, but it's not my fault you're a freaking *****. I just want to have a template to work on, so my stuff doesn't look extremely messed up untill I use the preview thing.

It is pretty confusing!







Here are the front views of all the reference skins.

(I labeled the boxes in mine so you would be able to tell which side each box is. Since ^ that's a front view, all the boxes say F; the rest are

F - front
B - back
L - left
R - right
t - top
b - bottom)

I've always known what I was doing when creating skins... All I need is Paint and the skin uploader to check if what I'm doing is right. I literally upload the skin about fifty times for each skin I make to thouroughly analyze each change I make. It's the best preview you can get.

In fact, uploading the skin-in-progress to the "Preferences" tab on the MC website is more or less a 3D preview of your skin anyway. Unless you're making skins on an unpaid account. Then you're in trouble.

Unless you use citric's previewer, which everyone can use.

You're welcome. Also, I'm not a freaking *****, I'm merely expressing my concern with you inability to understand the templates supplied on post 1 and 19.

However, you are clueless about what I really said.

I am totally new at this, and this is my first attempt. I feel stupid for asking, but what should the w/h of the PNG file be?

It was already posted, silly. It is 64x32 pixels.

I was looking for something specific to this, thanks!

This thread has been immensely helpful! Thank you!

This helps ty.

edit: its on wiki.
this helped me with get the parts of the body that I thought were useless, ie neck

I updated my reference skin to take into account the extra layer and the mirroring of arms and legs:



In this one, you have to cut off the bottom before you can use it! Oh nooo! I figured that was simplest.

Though now that I think of it, if the bottom is being cut off anyway, I could put a WORDY MEGAGUIDE under there instead. Would anyone be interested in that?

Hmmm... Thanks.

Sorry for the bump, but is there any way to make the left and right arms and legs different on the skin?

Sorry Madk....not possible yet.

this will help much with meh custome gui

Can you make guides for the mobs too?
And I want to know- can I put head textures on the Creepers? I want to give them cat ears.
