======================== Thought it would be good to have a single post of images of the best skins and who made them so heres the first list
The images are really small in kb so i think itll be ok for guidelines
Ill keep looking in the skins thread for more (im working backwards from page 5 atm)

Your post here can be exempt from the file size limit, since folk should know what they're letting themselves in for if they visit a gallery! Good work compiling them too.
man people are getting really good at this, the textures on the ships are getting increasingly detailed and creativity is really starting to shine through with the different styles!

thanks i thought it might be cool because then if you want one you can contact the person who made it (anyway past the 20 images limit? i cant add the brown eg.x)
//elhabib

//rush

Indeed mate , that is a good resume if you maintain it updated.
Rob are you ok to make that one as a Sticky topic?
Also maybe closing it to let it free of comments ( dedicated to the right forum : the custom ships one) and give the possibility to Crashed to edit it himself and adding the new ships )
does anyone have any other tips on making skins? anytihng to make it easier, etc etc... I'm not well-versed or capable when it comes to pixel artwork, so I can't easilly transcribe a design I may see in my head onto the flat image work area. Has anyone made some sort of program that will render the ship model (like on wipeout-game.com), which will let you copy and paste scaled images/etc directly onto the 3D model, and then generate the skin/texture file from that? Seems like a simple enough idea... think along the lines of the emblem feature in F-Zero GX....
Not a custom skin, per se, but I figure the best way to spark creativity (and the motivation to act on it) is to do things free-hand. I kinda made up my own Qirex logo that I'm gonna use whenever I try the ship skin thing.
i'm feeling uninspired with an overall theme/design for my AG-sys, but i'm sure in time i'll think of something clever. on a different note, but relative, i can't seem to import a skin into the online editor. i can pull the 2d image off no problme, quickly edit it, but not matter the filetype i can't get it to copy it back in at all. bitmap, jpg, png, nothing. i have it copied to my clipboard, but the paste button and pop up "is it ok" window do nothing. same ol' starting skin.... i don't understand.
