Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Well as MaxX said Upaint for beginners. Good for viewing things created with paint shop pro and/or photoshop too.
Else UnrealED is great too since you have complete control of skins and shaders/final blends/panners etc. But it's more for advanced useres too since there's a load of stuff that needs to be set and corrected for optimal output for skins.
The tutorial section in this forum is also a great place to stop by before starting/asking questions about skinning

Photoshop doesn't open .utx files. If there are textures in a .utx you wish to export you can do so via UnrealEd (saves as .dds files). These can be opened as images in Photoshop using a dds plugin... Just search the forum for that
MäxX said:you also can take the textures in the upaint directory, they are all saved in png format and you can start with your first tries from scratch
Then save the stuff as dds/bmp/tga.... (NOT jpg) and import it in UEdit
EEk! from scratch?! I don't know the layout of the face and stuff though!

You can test it in upaint and maybe this 2 sets of wireframes can help you a little bit
UT2003/4 Wireframe set-1024 orUT2003/4 Wireframe set-2048
Once you install uPaint, Nav, in the CD6\Extras folder you have a folder called SkinArt which has all the character images in there. Just copy that folder into your uPaint folder. You can then open each character and see exactly where everything is. Then just paint over it / whatever.
Most of us (I'd guess) didn't even know there were wireframes available until a while ago so it was pure guesswork for us too

yea thats what I was doing. My skin started looking noobish because of the paint brush, (when u stop, it goes a couple pixels ahead), so I coloured everything black except the eyesockets, eyes, and mask. (romulus skin). It looks good. and for the team skin, I used the mask for colour (red), and drew squigly lines diagonally on the body textures. In the perspective mode, you see randowm coloured lines everywhere on the body. I'm not sure If I'll take it out, but I like the look for now. I'm going to do the same for Blue team as well.
