The difference between skinning and modeling.
Guys... For all you newbs out there asking for "Kento robes" and other shit you MUST understand that there is, I think, only ONE modeler in this whole clan. I'm probably wrong, but that's what I think.
Skinning is the changing of colors and/or patterns on a model already made. Like a re-skin of a reborn, or the skinning of a saber.
Modeling is a complete different thing. This requires people to make a model from SCRATCH. that means someone's gotta go into a modeling program, and build a whole new model for the game, either a person or a wepon, and from my understanding, that shit is hard.
So please, before you go asking anyone to make you something, please make sure what you want, either a skin or a model.

Re: The difference between skinning and modeling.
^ Epic post.
Thing's right, modelling requires coding and such and is close to the difficulty of mapping. Skinning is changing the surface of an already existing model, modelling is making something entirely new. If you want a new skin with new add-ons and a new shape, that's modelling. If you want a current skin to look different but otherwise maintain the same shape, that's skinning.

Re: The difference between skinning and modeling.
Yeah I do model. But I don't take requests since I have too little time for that, modeling takes months for me since I am perfectionist ... Sorry.
Post on Filefront's Forum about it, they have few modelers but someone might help you.
