    • @jinglesthecat
      @jinglesthecat  2 года назад +15

      thank you so much, love!! all you have to do is go to the bottom right hand corner and hit the "toggle grid" button (right below the hide/show body parts). then you go to "pose model mode" which looks like a person holding their arms out and is on the right side above the cube that says "front" or whichever side youre on. default poses should show up, but if they dont, click the three dots and then select "create defaults". if you go to "view" and then grass texture, you can delete it. if you go to sky color and then back to creative mode (to the left of the pose model mode) you can choose a hex for the sky color. I edit the photos to be transparent afterwards with pixlr :)

  • @shanewaslost4283
    @shanewaslost4283 9 месяцев назад +20

    If anyone is reading this: The best way to start a skin is to
    1. Have a reference photo
    and... 2. Fill in all the sides of the player with the base color (I.e. if the head is blue in the reference image then fill in the head with a solid blue and shade and detail from there!)
    Color picking from an image is fine, always remember that it is a good learning opportunity to understand color theory!
