Here's what I'm trying to do. I want to take a Marine and add Shaman claws to it. (Done) But what I don't know how to do is take the skin from the claws and out them where they need to be on the Marine. They come out looking like this. I know I have to add the texture to the skin of the Marine somewhere, I just don't know where.

What your saying makes no sense, just tell us, whats the problem, whats wrong with it? It looks completely fine.

Edit: sorry, it just took like 3 times of reading over to understand, what format is it? it has to be tga or blp (<--I think) and if its a model it has to be in like blp or bmp. What are you really having problems with though, "I know I have to add the texture to the skin of the Marine somewhere, I just don't know where." WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS???

The claws got the wrong texture. He wants to create the right UV map for the model. I've got no idea of how to do that though. But check out the UV map tools in your modeling program.

The skin is in BLP format, but if you look at the claws, they look wrong. I want them to look metalic, instead they look like want-to-be camouflage...

What I meant was, If you look at the skin for the Shaman, in the top right corner you can see the part that wraps around the claws to give it that metal look. I need to find where I put that on the Marine to give the same claws the same metal look. I tried putting it in the same place, but to no avail.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
