Talk:Skin

How do you get the front/back images in the gallery? I want to upload a skin, but dont have the other pics. http://www.minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=melzardust

 * I second this. I believe I brought this up on the Skins_(gallery) page about screenshots of the skin, but I don't recall finding an answer.  However the new shots were made is highly effective at visualizing skins and I for one would love to find out how.  Oh, and nice skin, Melzardust.  Very unique. Jaeil 10:12, 11 November 2010 (CST)
 * I just render them in blender. – ultradude25 ( T at 04:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment =P Melzardust 12:35, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm a noob, and expect to be treated as such, but I created a Hello Kitty skin for my gf and would love to give it to the site (I use it so much I feel I owe you guys, but I'm too dead broke to drop a donation). Should I just download Blender, take the pics, and upload them to the page?

 * Ahaha, that's really cute. Don't worry, we don't bite. Not much anyway. If you're able to render them like User:Ultradude25 has, then I guess you can stick it on the list (not sure if they're welcoming anymore entries). Also, if you feel you owe the wiki, perhaps you can make other contributions around various articles, like fixing any spelling or grammar or finding references for any "citation needed" tags! That'd be pretty cool :D --Gnu32 06:35, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Does anyone remember when over head texture have been released ? TheDarkTiger 03:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

(article)?
Move to Skin please (over redirect). Putting "(article)" in the pagename is just silly. Ose 15:18, 2 November 2010 (CDT)

Uploading skins?
I tried uploading my new skin on the minecraft site, but the page just acts like its loading, then stops and clears the file address bar. This happens even when I try uploading the default "char.png" file. Is this feature of the site down? --VOR-D09 08:38, 19 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Can the front/back renderings be done in Wings 3D? Blender won't run on my Windows 7 PC for reasons unknown. --VOR-D09 21:17, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Remove Gallery
I think we should remove the gallery, if someone wants examples we can put a few of those, but not this huge list! MoonBeans (u-t-c) 13:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, or maybe move it to Skin/Gallery or something. It doesn't really help the article when there's 50,000 skins on the page. Ordona 17:48, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Missing accessory?
Ive created a skin for my character that uses the head accessory area, but that part is missing when I use the skin. Is there something I have to do to get it to work, or what? &mdash; Neithan Diniem   †  20:04, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Seconded. belongs to Danny Baranowsky, and was given for... god knows why. Something about genitalia or something. Animalbrad 16:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Concerning " transparency is not allowed on the skin file except on the second head area, which is transparent by default"
This is most certainly not true. I've tried editing char.png (the skin file) to have no arms and creeper legs (basically a creeper). It worked. When I saw other people with the default skin they looked exactly like a creeper, and when I pressed the inventory button I looked like a creeper to. This shows that it is not only the second head area that can be transparent. Vincent2128 15:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
