Reskin a vanilla weapon

How a reskin works

A Weapon Studio reskin keeps the vanilla model of the base weapon and puts your texture on it. The shape, the bones, the attach points and the high-detail model for first person all stay, so nothing needs fitting and Fit & size is skipped.

The quick start used this camo pattern on the Assault Rifle. The render comes from the finished game file:

Texture slots

In the Look step, Reskin the base model lists the texture slots of the base. Each row shows what the slot paints and its name in the game files. Upload replaces the slot with your image; the × removes it again.

1. 11. Weapon body (main texture): the texture that paints the weapon
2. 22. Upload: pick a PNG, JPG or WebP for the slot
3. 33. Markings and decals: the second slot, kept from vanilla here

• Assault Rifle

  Weapon body (main texture), Stock, Markings and decals

• Other rifles, SMGs, pistols, Sniper Rifle

  Weapon body (main texture), Markings and decals

• Pump Shotgun

• Knife

• Baseball Bat

  Weapon body (main texture)

• An upload replaces the whole slot. Slots you leave alone keep the vanilla texture.
• The surface detail of the vanilla weapon stays, so a flat colour still shows grooves and edges.
• PNG, JPG and WebP up to 16 MB per image.

Besides Upload, every slot has Paint, which opens the texture editor on the original texture, and Template, which downloads the original as a PNG. AI skin design under the slots repaints the selected slot from a short description for 150 credits. See Paint on the original texture and AI skin designs.

Making a texture that works

A weapon texture is the skin of the weapon laid flat: barrel, receiver, grip and magazine sit side by side on one image. Your image is placed exactly like the original, so it matters what you upload:

• Patterns and colours work without any template. A camo, carbon or wood pattern that fills the whole image covers every part. This is what the quick start did.
• Designs with a place, such as a logo on the receiver or a stripe along the barrel, need the original texture as a template.Press Template next to the slot to download it, or press Paint to work on it right in the studio.
• Keep the aspect ratio of the original, so every part lands in its place. Paint on a copy of it and upload that.

The markings slot

Markings and decals does not cover the weapon. It is a sheet of small pieces: screw heads, logo plates and text strips. Each of those small surfaces on the weapon shows its own patch of your image.

• A whole logo or word on this slot shows up only in fragments. To put a logo on a plate, paint it where that plate sits on the original sheet. Paint on this slot opens the original sheet, and Template downloads it.
• Transparent parts of your image keep the vanilla markings. An image without transparency colours every small surface in full.
• For a weapon in your own design, use Weapon body (main texture). The markings slot is for fine details on top.

Keeping the vanilla look

The studio offers a reskin without any texture: keep the vanilla look, add parts and pay only for the parts. The button then reads Build weapon · 50 credits for one part.

Price

A reskin costs 250 credits, plus 50 credits for each attachment. The quick-start rifle with four parts cost 450. The credits are held while the build runs and charged only when it succeeds.
