So I´ve been sitting on this for the last three days, and now it´s finally done.
At least I think it is.

What I need now are two kinds of people:
1. Someone fluent in english to do a little spellcheck
2. A few people to chrashtest the tutorial

Beginners are welcome.
Not only to see if it works, but to see where the problems are and what needs to be explained more precisely.

It´s a .doc file so everyone should be able to open it and it even has pictures. :lol:

Let me know what you think.

Nice!
Looks very good explained from what i could see by skipping through. Hopefully that will make some more people make chars for UT3!

Did you thought about uploading it somewhere over a HTML page? Would be nice.

I've spent 2 hours getting to the "skin your textures" part. Now I'm asking is there some wireframe maps out for the stock models yet or do I have to make do with closest pixel skinning?

Yes I've gotten off my lazy ass and starting up again.

There are no UV Maps aviable as far as I know.
I don´t think it´s possible to get the models out of UTEditor...at least not without some kind of tool like 3dRipper.

Time for some oldschool skinning action...Painting over the existing textures is a pain in the ass but what the hell.
Can´t wait to see what you´ll come up with. :)

The hardest part will be the normalmaps.
I´ve found this handy little tutorial showing how to enhance your generated normalmaps: http://www.cgtextures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30
