Well I don't know how many people already know this but here goes... I for one use Seashore to create my own skins! It is very simple and I think not as complicated as Paintbrush, another Application I've used in the past. Anyway first you must download Seashore, I personally believe you should use Seashore considering it's much easier than other Applications/Software out there, and it's free! The download link is below:

Seashore: http://seashore.sourceforge.net/download.php

Once you have it downloaded, open up the folder it created... You should see something like this:

IMPORTANT:
If you do not follow this closely it will not work, I Repeat, NOT WORK!


1. Click and drag Seashore, to your Desktop.

2. Once the Application is on your desktop go to "Show Package Contents" (CTRL + Right Click)

3. Follow this path:

Seashore: Contents > Resources > textures

4. It should look like this with the exception of the 00E folder:

Image

5. I like to create my own folder to put textures in, but thats just me, you could put them into any folder you'd like.

6. Now you can drag or Copy and paste textures in that folder, from anywhere.

7. You could get them off the internet, In the contents of TT you could use Terrains for skins, shapes for skins, even skies for skins! I don't care.

8. IMPORTANT: Do NOT change the .jpg to .png or a .png to a .jpg, if you do, the application will randomly shut down!

I hope this helps out with all of you TT skinners! I hope this helps everyone out considering it took me quite a while to write this! AGain I hope this helps and contact me if you have any questions, I'd be more than glad to help!

00E, you might also want to post the software link in the forum for freeware.

I'll take a look... it sounds promising.
