The texture flip was intentional. I've confirmed this in a direct email communication with Jens. He says it was one of the last changes Notch made and he was specifically instructed not to fix it, but he's sorry for any trouble it caused. It was actually bugged the way it was before and should have always been configured for the existing format.Posted in: Skins
So we have direct confirmation that it's not a bug. It also applies to all the bottom polygon surfaces, so for a char.png based model, that would be the top-right texture or more specifically the head-layer bottom (neck), the hat-layer bottom (neck proxy), torso bottom (nether regions), arm bottom (fingertips), and leg bottom (foot sole).
So yes, Paril, you may go ahead and update your program as this change is validated permanent. If you'd like to see a copy of the email, contact me at [email protected] and I'll be glad to forward it to you. -

Ah, so a use that may indeed actually be useful! I apologize for sounding so crass during my initial reply. The people that ask me for part pickers generally are the ones who only intend to use it for the purpose of quickly mashing together skin parts to upload and claim they made it, and I jumped to that conclusion. I hope you can forgive me. :smile.gif:
Basically, here's the way I look at it: I moderate a site which gets a hundred or so skin reports a day from people who are using programs like NovaSkin or SkinCraft, clicking a few parts and then uploading it claiming they made it. It happens a lot more often than any of us really want to believe. Personally, I believe that the implementing this feature will only cause this program to be put in the same category as these ones, essentially being tools skinners can use along with a library of "parts" to mix and match skins, facilitating stealing. Heck, the sample skins in MCSkin3D have already been uploaded to many sites; some that are way out of our control, and luckily some that actually listen to copyright (such as PlanetMinecraft) and remove the skins which are obviously copyrighted to our artist and used without permission (unedited; the license for the skins allow them to be used freely once they have been edited beyond a certain point).
While the program may never (I say may because one planned feature is plugin support, and developing a plugin for a part picker wouldn't be difficult) exactly have an official "part picker", version 1.4 has a Copy/Paste tool planned. This is probably the closest you'll get to something like a part picker, at least for the time being.
I appreciate the criticism, and it does not go unnoticed; we're careful to weigh both positives and negatives to features we skim by.
If you have any other concerns about my decision, please don't hesitate to bring them up.

I appreciate the thoughtful reply. What I wanted most out of my original post was to be able to copy and paste parts of my skins together. I really appreciate the replys. I never realized how much copying was going on! I truly feel for you. I love my work, and I just want to apologize for the harsh reply. I am now more than exited to use this program for 1.4!!! -

1. Not going to happen.
2. Future version; however, we don't encourage you using "parts". This is called unoriginality. Skins posted using parts will get deleted on most sites (I'm a site moderator at PlanetMinecraft - we don't allow skins made with part pickers there). MCSkin3D's focus is originality.

Ok, so I use my base skin to make different multiplay custom maps, but you wont integrate an option for me to put my 100% original skin into different original outfits? I dont want to have to replicate all my pixels just because you don't want to. I advise you to reconsider. So far, this tool has been an amazing help, but if that is your stance, Im slightly concerned about using it in the future.
Just some constructive criticism. -

Well, actually my reason for making this program is the fact that we have too many of these. I've tried four or five different skin editing programs (and I'm not an artist, let's get that clear first, I'm a programmer!) and they all have very different feature sets, or are extremely outdated (not that skin editors NEED to be updated to newer versions but they still lack any new features).
I'm hoping to create something that is more universal and works for everybody. Some people like that tool, some people like this tool, but everybody likes THIS tool - know what I mean?

I know what you mean. We definitely as a community have way to many skin editors. We don't need more of them we need better ones....•one.
I'm gonna download when I get to my computer. Nice job. - To post a comment, please login.
