Counter Strike Guns Skin Creator App

Create Counter Strike Global Offensive Skins by painting on 3D Weapon Models. This is more simple than coloring on 2D UV marked images which the professionals do. You have the 3D Model. Just paint on it and get the 2D Image as Skin Output. You can create skin and send it to Valve for inclusion of it in CS:GO.

  • Initial Phase

– 3D models (here, low poly guns model) with neat UVs. UV should be island mapped with a decent gap. UVs heatmap should be checked to show as close to one color as possible, otherwise the quality of coloring on the 2D map changes.

  • Scripting

– Touch raycast point of collision hitting the 3D Model is considered and paint is drawn upon it in sphere. Everything else is UI and texture, render texture management. Other features include decal paste, color picker, etc.
