Viper my good man, that was great!
Put my first Skin together and i'm about it to publish it.
Thank you so much. Now i'm angry at myself why i didn't try to make skins earlier...
My pleasure man.... Best of luck with your skin making journey ;)
i made a nova skin aswell, it is called nova pixelwhite this tutorial was pretty helpful,just note that you got to make your videos shorter,this is amazing viper,i have noticed that your nova relic skin havent been accepted yet,hopefully it will
Thank you very much for your nice words, I'm glad my tutorial was helpful :)
Regarding the length of my videos trust me I try my best to keep them as short as possible. However I also try to include as much information as possible to avoid any confusions and to make sure everything is as clear as possible. Having said that, point taken! I'll keep that in mind for my future videos and will try harder to make the videos shorter ;)
This tutorial series is amazing! Keep it up
Great tutorial! Got me hooked on creating skins for my beloved CS. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing!
Very helpful guide, thanks! 💯
Thanks viper for teaching me a new hobby one more time, love you man
This was such a well put together tutorial thank you very much viper!!
My pleasure! Thank you very much for your nice comment
BEST Short series Love it.. and finally last video arrived on this topic.. keep uploading great stuff....!
OMG :)) its super hard. Great video`s and great website !!!
I used OBS, Window built in Recorder and GeForce. By far the Image Quality and frame Pacing is superior using GeForce, Alt +Z, no choppy frames at 60 even in 4k.
Good to know!
Thank you so much!"
Thanks bro so much it is helpful❤🎉
My pleasure bro 😌
thank you for your videos... you inspire me everyday to improve, I've been having trouble with making a pattern based skin i was wondering if there is a way to make a custom wear pattern for a pattern skin.
Thank you for your nice words!
Regarding your question, in the 3rd part I talk briefly about the alpha channel. If you want a specific pattern for your wear then you need to apply this pattern in the alpha channel as well. Also, you need to use a style that supports the use of alpha channel. The ones that are relevant to patterns are the Hydrographic and Anodized Multicolor styles (If you use Spray-paint or Anodized Airbrush it won't work)
which website do you recommend to reduce file size of Gif image? because you can only upload till 2mb
You can achieve that through ezgif by using the crop and optimize tools. Also try and make your gifs as short as possible. The longer the gif the bigger in size it is
ok thanks
@@viperskins
Thank you for your work, great series. Could you please help me a little, when checking colors, my gun is flashing purple, i get that blue is too dark and pink is too bright, but what is purple? The part that flashing is metalic in gunsmith mode.
Hi Viper, I take a look at some skins in the workshop, some descriptions say that there are updated skins, can I update one of my skin if I improve it? if it is possible, how can I update the skin?
It's so helpful, thank you :)
A dumb question. After submitting in the workshop, you can delete the files, maps and images of the skin on your device right?
Yes you can, although i don't think it's a good idea. Sometimes you would want to make a 2nd version of your skin and you might want to build on the previous one. If you're suffering from lack of disk space then copy the files to an external disk or back them up in the cloud
@@viperskins Oh ok thanks
Thanks for amazing tutorials man, they was very helpful :) just submitted my first skin now waiting for review
Just one question - how did you made inspect window full screen? Or it just cropped to fit the screen?
My pleasure man.... Best of luck with your skin creation journey!
As for your question it's easy, in the game itself go to Settings -> Video and set the resolution to be your monitor's resolution
@@viperskins oh.. forgot about the settings :) thanks again :)
Nice explanation thank you😇😇
❤️
NOW I KNOW WHY IT CAME OUT DARKER!
What came out darker? And why?
there was no light lol (its on a difrent skin) @@viperskins
whenever i post a thumbnail i get annoying black bars on the top and bottom. Is their a image size I need to be using to fix that?
I usually use a 16:9 ratio and it works for me
i did find a problem tho for my nova skin,it says i need to fill in billing informations before posting it to public, and i honestly dont know what to do here !
Yeah I haven't included this in the tutorial. I think i'll create a video about it some time soon.
In the meantime what you need to do is:
1. Fill your bank account information. There are some details that you might need to ask your bank about, such as the SWIFT number of your account.
2. Fill some tax form (Or as they call it Tax Interview). Quite frankly I'm not an expert on the matter but if i remember correctly it is somewhat straight forward (Though a bit confusing). If you're an American citizen then your life will be easier, otherwise you will need an ITIN number (Which is equivalent to the American Social Security Number). If you have it then just put it. If not then simply say that you don't have one. I STRONGLY suggest that you read about ITINs when hopefully one of your skins make it. Then you can submit a request to get one, which will then get you tax deductions
hey, I wanna ask......are the tutorial you've made about custume weapon skins works on glove skins as well?
You can't submit glove or knife skins. You can only do guns and pistols (And newly the zeus was added)
sorry, I did not make it clear for you. I didn't intend to "submit" my skin texture, all I want to do is to make mods in cs source.
@@beteseeking4613 Oh OK. Quite frankly my knowledge in mods and in CS source is non-existing, so I won't be able to help you on this one!
Can you make a video on how to make a skin like the Glock Gamma Doppler? Thanks
Will try to do it some time in the future
Thanks! @@viperskins
I tried the workbench. Why do my skins get pixelated and downsampled in the viewer. I checked my source files and there were no problems..
If all of your maps are good then I suggest you check the game graphic settings.
But before that do check the UV maps. It's not just the Alebdo that can cause issues. If there are some random pixels in the normal, roughness or AO maps then they can cause some issues.
Are you seeing the pixels all around the weapon or in specific places? If it's in specific places then it might be due to your maps or an issue in the model (I saw that some models have small issues like the Sawed-Off). If the entire skin looks pixelated then maybe check the game settings
@@viperskins My textures are all good, some areas get pixelated, coz the engine won't display 4k textures. It gets downsampled everytime. Is it normal for the engine to downsample the textures all the time??
Any idea how to use gifs as thumbnails?
You need to use a tool for that. Here's a Steam guide that talks about it:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936720761
Let me know if you got the Steam link. There's a chance that RUclips doesn't allow sharing external links in the comments
Thank you so much I appreciate it I will sure use it!
@@viperskins
@@viperskins I got it and its gonna be very useful to me
Can I change the thumbnail once uploaded??
Yes, but you'll need to do it from the workshop item editor. Open the editor in CS and click on Publish. Choose the item you wish to update then click on the pencil icon. The dialog that opens will enable you to update the thumbnail
hello why you dont edit the video on ezigif ?
You can if you want. If you find editing the video using ezgif easier then go for it
Hey man, very helpful video. Being playing with skins for a while but now I'm thinkiing about submitting one and this came right on time.
Question, do you know if(how) is possible to make skins for knives and gloves?
Thanks!
My pleasure man. I'm happy you found my tutorial useful :)
Regarding knives and gloves, technically it's possible to create skins for them (Never tried it myself but i've seen in the past others do skins for knives), but TBH i don't know where you can get the OBJs and UVs (Never looked for them).
The thing is that even if you make skins for knives and gloves, currently Valve does NOT accept community skins for them. Currently they only accept skins for guns. So i suggest that you don't bother too much with it until Valve announces otherwise
@@viperskins Thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah was mostly curious about if valve alowed it. So I'll keep doing stuff for the guns. :)
@@deuuss1 Best of luck!
hi bro whats up
I've been watching your videos for a long time and learning, I use the Adobe Sub program myself, I'm interested in the switching effect, but it doesn't work out for me like you did when viewing weapons, but it works well in the game, and even when the background is lit, the light fades, sorry that my English is bad. I don’t know much, but I’m trying to teach, I’m from UZBEKISTAN, I’ll be glad to tell you in more detail if you have time,
Hello my friend :)
I'm not sure what you mean by "switching" effect. Can you please explain in more details?
IF YOU REMEMBER YOU MADE A VIDEO WITH SEYVIDOFF. WHEN THE LIGHT SWITCHES THERE JUST DARK GREEN AND BRIGHT GREEN CHANGES IN MY PLACE OF CHANGE A SILVER LIGHT APPEARS. I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW THE WORK BUT I CANNOT PUT PHOTOS HERE@@viperskins
SORRY I DON'T KNOW ENGLISH POOR@@viperskins
nice video and tutorials ! thank you now im publish my first two skins , however i notice that the cover image i do for my skin is like low quality (?) i took the screen of my weapon with the green screen of cs2 workshop and then i edited on gimp giving a good background but the entire image on the workshop results strange , maybe there is a px to respect for this ?
Thank you for the nice words :)
Regarding your thumbnail, does it look good in GIMP but bad in the workshop? And does it look low quality even as a thumbnail (The small version with the rest of the submissions)?
In general I advise against using a thumbnail from a screenshot taken in-game, unless it's a pattern skin that's hard to be viewed in Blender. But in general what makes an image look low quality is if it was scaled up or down too much
@@viperskins yeah in GIMP Its look very pretty nice then i uploads on the workshop as a thumbnail and the quality drop , anyway thank you ! I use a screen because i create a "Little file mistake" with Blender but i think i can recover the skin
Is there an easy way to put decorations on the skin?
What do you mean by decorations?
@@viperskins Uh, accessories.
@@viperskins Ex) Something like a snowman ornament on an ice-themed item.
@@Aimers8_fps If you mean you want stuff hanging out of the weapon then currently this is not possible. But if you want the decorations to be part of the skin and directly on the body of the weapon then you can but in order for it to look good and convincing you need to be really good at graphics!
👌👌tres utile
Merci 🙂👍
what version are you using
What are you asking about? Version of what?
of blender, i want to install the version your using so there are no extra fetures and no more confussions@@viperskins
@@YourFriendlyNeighborhoodBalkan I use version 3.2.1. Hopefully soon I'll install version 4 and explain how things are different there
ok thx im using laptop version 3.6 and idk why but half of the commands that work in 3.2.1 and later versions dont work for me. I even checked what i was doing wrong but i found no answers on yt or google. I even checked the official website but theres nothing about this in the manual. Sorry to bother you with this@@viperskins
@@YourFriendlyNeighborhoodBalkan What do you mean by commands? What are you trying to do?
hi bro
Hello :)
Hello, my skin looks great but the Wood 🪵 in my AK-47 looks battle scarred at Factory New ? How do i solve it ? Otherwise it looks great. I used gunsmith but the faces of the weapon from blender can be shown.
If it looks battle-scarred in factory new that means you need to work on your alpha channel.
Regarding the faces of the weapon from Blender appearing, it means that you may have edited the topology of the weapon and the changes were baked in the normal map
@@viperskins It's kinda hard to explain it I'll send you some pics on Twitter if you're comfortable. Thanks 🙏👍
@@pangtundure Yes feel free to send me there :)
@@viperskins I'm publishing some that look good rn, there are some I'm having problem with hopefully we'll fix it
This was such a well put together tutorial thank you very much viper!!
