Hello all. 

Just a quick question I'm asking. What programs/software are used to make texture edits to vehicles in GTA: V?

On an added note, what else is needed to start making vehicle texture mods?

it differs. Most people use photoshop but there are some the use other layer based programs such as Inkscape. I for use SAI for the design and photo shop for the text.

As for what is need well you would need the 'templet' for the model you would like to skin and assorted reference pictures of what your trying to do Eg: left, right, front, back, top.

I use http://www.policecarwebsite.net/ when I just want to mess around with skins.

This is the best I can help, but mabye one of the 'skinners' could help more

Thanks for the helpful info. I'll wait to see if anyone else can give me more information.

I'll add to this topic with one more question then:

How do you make a template for the vehicle you wish to edit?

This is something that is called 'UV mapping' and it is done in Zmodler. Usually the editor of the model dose this. If there is no UV mapping or 'templet' sadly a skin can not be made.

Basically what the temple or the 'UV mapping' dose is this part of the Image goes here on this part of the model.

And like with most GTA V vehicle modding, you need Zmodeler3, right? 

Yes, that is correct
