Choosing Your Model

First, select your character model: Steve or Alex. Steve has the standard proportions, while Alex has a slimmer build with narrower arms.

You can also import an existing skin for editing by clicking the Import button and choosing your file.

Essential Tools

The main tool is the Brush . This is the first item on the toolbar. Select a color and start painting on your character model. Double-clicking with the brush will fill one side of the element.

The Fill tool allows you to quickly fill an area or the entire element by double-clicking on the desired area.

To add textures, use the Spray tool; double-clicking will also fill one side of the element.

The Eyedropper tool helps you pick any color from the model if you need to use it again.

The Eraser removes paint, and double-clicking it will clear the entire element.

To add shadows and textures, use the Decrease Brightness and Increase Brightness tools.

Rotating and Viewing

To access all parts of the model, you need to rotate it.

Use Move to reposition the model, or click and drag the background.

You can zoom in or out using Zoom In and Zoom Out , and Default View will reset the view to the default position.

If you’re not happy with your skin, don’t worry—start over by clicking Reset.

Adding Details

Create a unique design using the tools provided. If something goes wrong, you can always undo the last action with Undo and redo it with Redo .

Transparency and Overlay

Use the Overlay Opacity feature to add a transparent layer to any part of the overlay. This adds depth and additional details, such as clothing elements, accessories, or shadows.

Don’t Forget the Interior

Remember to paint the interior sections of the model for a complete look. You can hide the main body by toggling it off and then fill in the underside of the head. To paint the body, hide the head, arms, and legs, and rotate the model to ensure you cover all surfaces.

Flipping the Skin
