Build and install

Building and downloading

Name the prop, check the price and press Create. The resource is usually ready within half a minute.

The New prop settings

Everything about the finished prop is set in the right panel of the Reskin Studio, under AI Design. Scroll the panel down to see all of it:

Setting	What it does
Spawn name	The name of the new prop in game, also used for the files and the resource. The line under it, Spawns in-game as, shows the cleaned-up result.
Add variant	Adds a second skin and turns the prop into a variant pack.
Notes	For yourself. Shown on the job page, not part of the resource.
Share with the community when ready	Shares the finished reskin with other SwisserAI users. Off by default.
Summary	How many textures you changed, or Edit a texture from the list to enable creating. while nothing is changed yet.
GPU memory	Estimated memory of one prop or skin. FiveM warns above 16 MB.
Price and balance	For example 40 credits and your balance, right above the button.
Create reskin	Starts the build. In a pack it reads Create pack (3 variants).

Choosing a spawn name

The spawn name is how scripts and map tools find your prop, so pick one that is yours. It starts as the file name of the .ydr.

Lowercase letters, digits and underscores, up to 64 characters. The studio turns spaces and other characters into _ for you.
It cannot start with a prefix the game uses for its own objects, such as prop_, v_, hei_, apa_, ba_, gr_, xm_. The error names the prefix and suggests your own instead, for example myserver_.
It cannot be the name of an object that is already in GTA V. So a reskinned GTA prop always needs a new name.
Skins in one pack need different names.

Good to know

Use one short prefix for your server, for example ls_barrier_blue. It keeps your props together and away from other packs.

Creating the prop

Create reskin uploads your textures and opens the job page. The build runs on our side; you can close the page and come back later. The job page shows four stages:

The pipeline card of a prop reskin while it builds: Queued, Reading the prop, Applying your textures and Packaging.

Queued, Reading the prop, Applying your textures (at the original size and format), Packaging.
Our single reskin was done after 15 seconds, the pack of three after 45 seconds, counted from the click.
You can run up to 3 asset jobs at the same time.

Create reskin stays grey until a texture is changed, the name is set and your balance covers the price. With too few credits the panel says how many you need, with Top up and Upgrade plan.

The result page

When the build is done, the job page shows the new prop in a 3D view you can turn, with the actions in the header:

The page of the finished barrier_blue reskin: the prop in a 3D view and FiveM .zip at the top right.

The actions of a finished reskin: Share with the community, Share, Animate, Merge and FiveM .zip with its download menu.

FiveM .zip downloads the resource.
The arrow next to it opens more downloads: the GLB Model of the reskin and each single file of the resource.
A pack shows its first skin in the 3D view. The download menu lists the single files of every skin.

Inside the zip

The files sit at the top level of the zip, without a folder around them. These are the downloads from our runs:

fxmanifest.lua
stream/barrier_blue.ydr
stream/barrier_blue.ytyp

fxmanifest.lua
stream/barrier.ytyp
stream/barrier_blue.ydr
stream/barrier_neon.ydr
stream/barrier_yellow.ydr

One .ydr per skin, named after its spawn name. Your textures are inside it, so there is no separate .ytd.
One .ytyp, named after the prop or the pack, that registers every spawn name with the game.
fxmanifest.lua streams both and loads the .ytyp; see the manifest.

Every reskin stays on the Prop Reskins page, which the sidebar entry Prop Reskin opens. Search by name, filter by status and open a card to download it again. The same reskins are in My assets under Reskins.

The Prop Reskins page: the New Reskin button, search and status filters, and the finished reskins of the docs run as cards.
