when you talk about folders do you mean the folders in the skin packager, if so then you might have the wrong idea about the packager. You have to load up the textures that you make into it, then it just compiles them into DLC. The templates are a separate thing, they are just a bunch of BMP files in a folder called 'wireframes' (as Jamie explained) in the packager installation folder, that you can load into Photoshop. They don't apear in the packager anywhere.

If your wireframes folders are empty then the install didn't work properly and you either need to install them again and/or re-download the installer..

I found where the wireframes were but im clueless as to where to go from there. Im not a skinning noob lol I skin on MX Sim all the time. Im just used to having a template to work with and not having to start from wireframes!

[mcm2boys]

As far as i see it wirefames are templates, you paint over the wireframes to make the skin - how much easier could it be, you don't want the people who worked on this tool to have all the fun do you..?

My philosophy is to leave some of this stuff for other people to do and then they can get a buzz from making their own contribution to the community. But if you don't share this mindset then i think someone has made more detailed templates and posted them on mxmaniacs.com which might be what you are looking for, otherwise you're going to have to start with the wireframes..

[JamieT]

Not sure what else you need other than a wireframe?  What other bits were you expecting?  I thought they were pretty clear to see which part was what imo.  All you're skinning is the plastics, and a few other bits, no need to make an engine or frame texture.  I think Mototank had made up an image which says which part is what... Maybe that was more of what you expected?  I'm sure if you send him a PM he would help you out.

Ok just making sure that is all i had to do. That is the easy part. I made a graphics cutout for the Suzuki 450 in PS of JUST THE BIKE GRAPHICS. Where would I get the motor and lever graphics and stuff? Plastics and bike graphics is the easy part of all of this. That is all done and I will post a pic later! Just need motor graphics so my png will look like al167's in the seat blending topic.

Levers are top right of the wireframe on all bikes if i remember right, the engines (as well as wheels, tires and some of the suspension parts) are on different textures, but they aren't user skinnable.

GKSracing104 are you going to make suzuki stock plastics or ?

[FlyingTank11]

I really do not understand how to use this. I've never created any mods, and have no idea what to do. Can someone help me? I would love to create some gear.

Hey I'd like to try and make a skin, is there a Photoshop template available?  I've looked around with no luck. 

I did notice the BMP files in the "Wireframes" folder.  Just use those I guess?

Awesome work BTW!

I'd also be willing to do a tutorial video on making these skins. And packaging them and all that.

I started today with a Replica of Clement Desalle, but i don't know how i can get the bike ingame,
Can someone please help me ?

[mcm2boys]

Hey Kam

No long time no read.. No need to ask just go ahead make a tutorial . The wireframes are the only templates provided, they of course can be loaded into Photoshop, but if you want to create something else go ahead on that as well.. I think someone put a bike template up on MxManiacs along with a skin pack but that's the only publicly released one that i know of..

If you have the packager it will put it in the game for you when you package the skin. Just select the bike that you are skinning from the list on the left, when the Bike tab is selected. Load up the bike skin that you created (best in BMP format) then click the pack button, select the DLC slot number you want to put it in and let it compile.. Next time you run the game your skin will appear in the graphics sets section of the Garage|My Rides menu..

Just a quick update .. I'm working on stock suzuki's 

[kidzorro]

Any talk of doing a community Rider skin pack? I know I brought this up earlier... it sure would be nice if there was a high quality TwistedDirt pack out there :p

I installed the skin packager, but my Reflex destination folder is under Program Files (x86), and the program only shows Program Files and not the other one. Please Help. You can Email me at Jacobnorberg2001@yahoo.com

I have the same problem

[mcm2boys]

I see the problem so i'll put it on the todo list. As a temporary fix you could copy the following file (you will probably need to make new folders) for Steam from:

C:\Program (X86)\Steam\config\config.vdf

to:

C:\Program Files\Steam\config\config.vdf

That should do it..

Where are al the nice skins you work on to download? I see nice things on this forum (bikes/gear)  but i cant find so much to download.

does anyone know when there are some new skins to download?

Big thanks!!

[qontusolsson]

Here's something I did little quick. The bike is originally from "Xenuh", I just did a little bit of modification on it.
The Fox gear is from "schulboy191".
And the helmet is made by myself.
Kinde liked the combo looking a little bit like Ryan Dungey!

[xenuh]

I actually made the skin too. Haha, nice mods! Thanks for giving credit too btw.
