i know, I know, skinning

[Georgebe3]

I need some serious help with skinning, I really miss paint shed, and I cant figure out how to do this skin stuff. Is there not a really easy way to get some skinning done? I just want to paid some cars and engines from the old paintshed.

No, no "really easy way", not really. Some may say that reskinning with a graphics manipulation program is simple, but it's not "Paintshed" simple. It's rather complicated and time consuming and requires a familiarity with the program tools and techniques if you want your reskin to look like anything in the end. I assume you're using Trainz 12, what graphics program do you have?

Try http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Trainz/Basic_Reskinning_for_beginners

It use GIMP, I find Paintshop Pro to be a better tool but that's $, version XI or later so not that expensive on ebay. Paint.net works well as well.
