I didn't have much time to search the forums for this but is it possible for a 3D skin editor? It would save so much time to create skins drawing it directly to the model than drawing it in Photoshop or whatever you use then uploading it afterwards to find that it looks terrible (we've all been there :tongue.gif:).

You're right about getting use to skinning meshes, I've done it many times before. But what I'm saying is a Direct 3D skinning tool would be more user friendly then the current method of trial and error.

Nowai! Right now, good skins take some artistic envisionment/talent. I want to keep it that way. If all you did was draw a smilie face, where has it all gone?

That's a really selfish point of view, actually. And also untrue. With a 3d skinning tool, people with more artistic talent will still make better skins. You just don't withhold it from people with less computer skill or lack of spatial visualization skill.
That's a good idea. If the skin maker isn't a premium... But that would be almost impossible... minecraftskins.net has a skin previewer but uh... the site is down
I think I'd prefer the current char.png over any 3D tool to make a skin. It's more of a challenge. What I first did to make skins was just recolor it, and find out where everything is. So if you want to make it look realistic, have four different shades of one color going from dark to light, then color the darkest spots in with the darkest color, and go up from that. Using this, I'm able to make "okay" skins. Such as the one I have right now:
