Also if you edit your pose in pose mode, make sure to set it as the rest position by going into Pose Mode and pressing Ctrl A! Forgot to mention that.

This video is amazing and helped so much, I've made around 5 skins after watching this tutorial and getting the gist of it. AMAZING Guide.

Hey, Audrey! Just wanted to message to let you know that your tutorial helped me tons... I hadn't realized it, but I recognized you as a mod author for some of the skins I use, I was delighted to see that you posted a guide on how to create your own skin! I'm still working out the kinks for having Jiggle bones for fabric and hair, but this guide was a great way to sink me into the gist of mod development. Thank you again!

"For all intensive purposes we'll call him Jeremy"
Yeah, I'm in for a good tutorial here.

[mamaproxy]

[ndrmed]

[elgato]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while but hadn’t known how! Such a great guide!

[BlarghDragon]

Thanks Audrey. This has helped me out alot but ohhh gawd the weight paintingggg [ *screaming in the distance* ] but its all good now. Thanks!

[zarphus]

you can solve the auto weights issue by scaling your model up significantly, applying the scale, creating the weights, then scale it back down. suggest scaling to 10x, then scaling back down to .1x

Thank you for showing me that this is way too complex for a smoothbrain like me, even if i already have a 3d model ready

[thevelocipastor]

the skin is invisible ingame, not sure where i ventured wrong

[GM]

Currently making an enemy mod and it’s a little different from this but I think this video will help more than enderbrine’s

[fireblade]

i really like these tutorials where even a monkey like me can follow along

[DaivieySandbox]

This is a great tutorial, thank you :)

[somethingwrong]

Good video, only problem is that I messed up somehow with the textures and now my skin is invisible with no clue on how I messed up

[francisrave]

Hey ! Thanks for the tutorial :)
I'm really stuck in the "get the git package to Unity" phase. I've tried it with the link method, and tried it with the other method suggested in the git page (to write a specific line in the manifest.json file). Neither are working for me unfortunately :( Also I'm using the same Unity version you recommended..
Any suggestions ?

[FunForMyWorld]

added the skinbuilder in package manager but under create there is no Ror Skin option

[CryptoBitReal]

I tried to mod mercenary and It appeared as a skin in game but it was completely invisible and i dont know why :(
