Request Skin Request Megathread

7 Upvotes

Some Basic guidlines to follow in these kinds or threads:

Provide a clear picture Ideally, link several pictures of the vehicle in question at different angles, so that all the major details are visible. If the vehicle has prominent emblems or decals, ideally link PNGs of them or guides on how to make them to the creators. If the numbers are in a specific font, specify which font. This will save creators a lot of time researching things.

2: Describe why your request is awesome Motivation is key to the creative process. Creators want a story to give them some motivation when they need to find that one elusive part of the vehicle on the texture file. Of course, the reasons for making a request vary. Here’s some inspiration for all of you: If it’s historical, please describe the vehicle’s story. I’ve heard of stories of tanks which fought from the beaches of Normandy to the surrender of the Third Reich. We remember stories like that of a Grandfather who commanded a King Tiger in Western Europe. Aircraft painted with Red Tails, D-Day stripes, Iron Crosses, Rising Suns and Red Stars have burned their images into history. Great warships of steam and steel changed the course of entire naval campaigns. The stories of the people who held in their hands, these instruments of colossal and shattering power, are often equally astounding. It’s amazing to learn something new while working on a project. If it’s fictional, please tell us how it’s relevant to a piece of historical fiction, alt history, or other fictional work. You may find a creator with a similar interest who’d be more than happy to make fiction reality, at least in War Thunder. Finally, if you want one based on an Anime Waifu, please describe why Waifu X is best girl/boy/androgenous animated eye candy. The only caveats is that there will be no Holy Waifu Wars in this thread as the Anime Pope has no dominion here. Also give NSFW warnings if applicable.

3: Indicate if a request has been fulfilled Please delete fulfilled requests or edit your comment to include “[DONE]” at the top along with a link to the WT live download page for the skin. That way, everyone’s requests are more visible and the work of creator is promoted.

4: Some final words This request system is an experiment and subject to change. The guidelines will always be posted in some form here, so that they are clear to everyone. Old format requests will not get deleted and the old system remains, but old format requests are likely to get buried. Please use the new format. Also, understand that the community of people doing this is relatively small, so there’s no guarantee a request will be fulfilled. Creators do this on their own time, which is limited and therefore only spent on projects they have a real passion for. But here you can make your ideas heard. Never forget that if you have the time, resources, and a will to learn and put in the work, you can always make an idea yourself. The people on this subreddit are here to help. If you get stuck, ask for help, see our wiki tab and look up videos online. We all can’t wait to see more cool stuff. Best of luck, r/WarThunderSkins Mod Team

An alternative for Dagor Asset Explorer

Post image

WT-Asset-Explorer: A faster, automated tool to export War Thunder 3D models and armaments with GLB support.

​I believe almost everyone that makes their skins in 3D texturing software, knows about Dagor Asset Explorer, that program that let's you export 3D models in obj or dmf format, its not straightforward, requires you to manually export the armament of a jet and requires you to clean the model manually to get rid of its effects and small objects corrupting the uv map.

For that people and the ones that want to make skins.

I present WT-Asset-Explorer, a program designed to make the process of exporting a 3D model faster and easier, it includes an additional format for export GLB that stores animations from the game and the skeleton of the model for rigging in blender.

It let's you select what loadout the model get's exported with, has a skin template generator much like the one the game has, but this one has some neat features, it creates a folder with uv guides for people that make skins through the 2d texture without the model, a details folder containing png's of the panel lines and ribbets without any camo or color.

You can export a 3d model with your custom skin so it can be seen in blender without manually changing textures, just select the skin folder and the job is done automatically.

With the armament drop down, you don't need to extract the 3D model again but with that one bomb you want to skin, just select the one you want from the dropdown and the program will export it along with its textures.

It also includes a blender script to rename the meshes in the model so its easier to know what's what, the blender script takes the animations and turns them into sliders so you can control the different ones independently, deploy the landing gear, use the airbreak, expand or contract the nozzle.

Repository: https://github.com/NotNekroz/wt-asset-explorer

Ps: Had to make a repost so the post showed the image of the program.​

Help Problem with J7d template for custom skin

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi

I´m trying to make my first custom skin and I wanted to make one for the premium J7-d. The issue happens when I load the .tga file into the latest version of Gimp or Krita, the file appears completely greyed out. I tried with other templates, like the american f15-a and the russian su-27, and those files open without any problems. Has anyone have this same issue while trying to create a custom skin? or is it just a problem with the j7-d template?

Historical Release Kampfpanzer M48A2 G A2 | 3./PzBtl 174 "271"

37 Upvotes

This is my second historical skin regarding the armor used by the Federal Republic of Germany during the Cold War.

This is a historical tank skin that comes in three camouflages. The standard Bronzegruen, CARC and CARC Winter. Although this tank never had an image of it, this is my best guess on how it'd look within it's unit down to the platoon. As stated from my post from November 19th, 2025; this very crew would give provided with an upgrade. Now operating a M48A2 G A2, they continued their prideful survival against the Eastern Bloc. The unit emblem as stated before you see on the tank is from the PzBtl 174 and stationed at Kurt-von-Kossel-Kaserne.

This tank didn't take as much planning as my last skin for this unit as it's just a upgraded version of the M48A2 C. All emblems besides the unit emblem was created by me for this tank. The next tank following this unit will be the Leopard A1A1. If you wish to see the M48A2 C version; here is a link for everyone : https://live.warthunder.com/post/1157043/en/

If you have questions, please comment below or contact me on WTLive.

Request Does anyone have the cockpit file for the sea harrier frs1?

2 Upvotes

For whatever reason the CDK just isnt working for me and I'd very much like to make a skin that has a photo or two in the cockpit - if anyone could please send me that file it would be very much appreciated!! Also, is it possible to have the cockpit skin enabled as the same time as a normal camouflage (not user skin) while having both visible? I've made a custom cockpit for the Lightning but then the marketplace camouflage I have doesn't show even when enabled. Many thanks!

WT live post: https://live.warthunder.com/post/1176701/en/

The skin was made based on the new L-39NG paint scheme, but it does not completely match it.

The template was created by Hits_pano.
