Master Skinnerz Pro Kit for LFS S2 helmet skin. 


Contents:

- Wireframe overlay
- Black mask overlay
- Blank skin
- Pre-made layers for all skinnable areas


*Important:

Overlay files are PSD format (Adobe Photoshop).
PSD is supported by many of the better graphics or paint programs.
To conserve resources you should resize your final skin down to no larger than
512 x 512, large textures can cause lag in-game for all players who
have the skin.


How to use this kit:
1. Open the kit using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro etc.

2. Create and edit until you are satisfied with your skin, use the wireframe
as a guide to help align your graphics and decals. The wireframe follows the
polygons of the 3D model so you can easily see how the skinnable areas fit
together.

4. Remove or hide the wireframe.

5. Open the black mask overlay and place it on top as it's own layer. The
black mask helps to reduce the file size because it covers the unskinnable
area with one colour (black) rather than the several shades of grey we see on
the blank skin.

6. Check your skin in the CMX Viewer or in game.

7. Make final adjustments and resize to 512 x 512 and save your skin as a
JPG file, use compression if you wish but be aware that quality will suffer
slightly the more compression you use.

8. Save or export as a jpg file keeping the file prefix  HEL_  intact.
