Thanks i realy wonderd if it was in Photoshop or not soGimp is the format yousave your skin and then you render it with VPK tool Thanks 4 the info

@vicentiup i recomend you to save the textures as dds files. then you can convert them with the vpk tool. you wont have the possibility to save them as dds files. there fore you will have to download a gimp dds plugin. Just watch goolg for that =) you can ofc also download a free dds converter. then you file should be saved as tga or png. then you can convert it to dds via that extern converter. have fun trying it out buddy ;)
