Skinning Tutorial Request

[egoncalo]

Anyone know of a good tutorial on how to go about making skins for custom models. I have no idea how they are wrapped or unwrapped. Like how would I start a skin from scratch?

go through his articles . it will teach you the theory behind texturing you should just get into it with out a good base.
after that
grab a few skin tuts from here http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/resources/general/video_tutorials/video-tut-list.shtml
just to get yourself oriented with the procedure...it is however REALLY important that you develop your own style and method that you are comfortable with i dont use the same method that these people use.

if you want to make skins the best thing is to use photochop.
