Hello, Primal Carnage community. A newcomer to the Development Kit here.


I have opened up the Primal Carnage Editor, and I have to say, it's very impressive! I am overwhelmed. Not just in awe, mind you, but also in my search for skins and, in particular, how to go about editing them.

I've managed to discover that some persons have shared textual descriptions of the process (as Apoc has in a forum post), as well as videos of their creating skins, including a tutorial by Senoba on understanding how the skin-making process works. These do indeed provide some very useful insight and instruction. Thanks to these, I've been able to navigate through the overpowering beast that is SDK, and find the models and the patches of skin texture- or some of them, at any rate.

However, there is something that these videos do not seem to elaborate, which is currently the question which most dominates my mind: How to actually get the skin in question into a program in which I can edit it. I do not know where the skin texture files are kept, and therefor do not know where to import from after I have opened Photoshop. This is the most immediate and imposing barrier I face.

I come here asking the namesake of this thread: Where can I find the skin texture files, so as to import them into Photoshop for editing? And if I find them, can I just do that, or are there additional specific instructions that I must undertake in order to convert them into a form that can go from SDK to Photoshop and back?

If you have read this, I thank you very much for your patience and for your time. And if you have an answer to this, I strongly request that you please share with me. I would be indebted to you.
