Click the button with the paintbrush, next to the 16 color boxes. There, below it you'll see two icons next to a question mark. The two papers is Copy, and the one with the clipboard is Paste.
What I do is copy the previews from there and paste them into MS Paint and modify the color scheme as I please. Then, I copy them from PAINT and paste it into the EDITOR. :)
The Editor alone doesn't give many tools for flashy painting - for me, thats where Paint comes in. :g (for some around here, its probably where Photoshop or somethin' comes in :P )
Hope that helps. :D
Ahh :rolleyes:, thanks Ace.
Im suprised no ones gone b3ta on the skins.... hopefully thats not igniting someones fuse!
Awesome designs.
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.
That's a very cool scribble there, says alot about your personal style. I like!
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.
:eek WOW! That is... wow.
That is perfect. :rock pixel by pixel, for sure!
D8 Omfg! That`s awesome! Sorry for the cursing lol.
Sweet as ... fingerlickingly nice blend of Wip3out style with HD. :dizzy
Thanks for the feedback, fellows.
My next project will be a Wipeout 1 AG-SYS skin, brought up to date with sleeker paint lines and more intricate detail, to spice up the boring design of the original.

That skin is gorgeous, Flashback. Can hardly wait to see your F3600 version.
I second Medusa's post. Great skin there. I'd like to see someone do one of the skins from the intro movie to WO1. Some of those were pretty damn sweet.:g
here's some piranha skins :)
...and one more + goteki,s
Amazing collection, 16 colors & still fantastic rendering! I love your dedication!
Thanks alot :beer
That is without a doubt: two thumbs up! I love the third and fifth Pirhana and the third Goteki.:nod
omg i love how u guys can make sunken and risen panels, i had a go at it, and it just ended up looking like a rectangle...
I had a quick go today (three hours) its my first real attempt at a skin so dont judge to harshly:rolleyes:
Simple but elegant :+:beer
yeah now that iv figured i can import the template in to photoshop im gonna try something a little more complicated. This skin editor is almost as addictive as the game :brickwall I still cant believe the quality of sum of these skins u guys are doing :)
--------
Here are two more iv done today just quick ones mainly messing with colour combos. my basic idea for these is that they could be a kindof clan skin, same format for each one but different animal/logo,colour, flag and tag name. oh and it must keep the WZ (wipeoutzone)sponsor on the back lol.
Very nice Micky! Cool idea about the clan types of ships.
cheers mad-ice. its a shame pulse doesnt really hav the structure to support clans or team play for that matter. heres hoping the team aspect to HD is fully developed. Also i cant recall reading any info on there being a skin editor for HD. Wud be a shame if that feature was left out :?
Erm, I think something went wrong?
Hear, hear micky, so true!
mdhay: a little too grey for my taste. The ship just disappeares on these grey tracks.
"Clean" skins, aka no paint damage/no rust/no scratches.
The idea is from tioscarab at WipEout Arena. Unfortunately colours of his clean skins were sometimes wrong or there were bugs with the skin. Here are some I've made that do work, and the colours are the same as the original ships.
does changing the cockpit artwork actually change the cockpit in game?
lol you could put a smiley face on the pilots :)
No changing pilot art does not change it in-game. The slight color variation you see is due to the way I have used to get rid of the 'dirt'. It doesn't appear in the game.
I'm guessing you used Levels then did a select colour range and returned them to their usual colours?
I used levels to make a dirty ag-sys once. :g
If you're using Photoshop I guess that's how you would do it. I used GIMP :P
Picked a colour (Say the bright red of AGS), selected red paint damage regions (With 'Select regions with same colour' tool) and painted all these regions with the bright red. Repeated for every damage/etc. Then I made small adjustments for logos, arrows, vents, etc.

Gentlemen, let's keep this as a gallery, please, as set up in the starter post, rather than a discussion of editing methods. I believe we already have an editor discussion. And if we don't, we can always start one. :D

This is my assegai skin, i hope you like it.
