you probly havent heard of me im new to the site. i havent tried this yet but if someone could make me some skins of a motercycle for milkshape 3d i think i could model a MOTERCYCLE @{>_<}@

After Hourz already made a working BMW bike.

As for the skins.. why can't you make your own?

well i'm not very good at drawing...

I used to be not very good at mapmaking..

Part of the fun in doing things like this is getting better at things you were not very good in, in the beginning.

So.. see it as a challenge I say.
The main problem with creating skins is, it's best done by the model maker himself, because he knows how he wants the model to appear.

So.. download Gimp (or some other texture editing tool) and try.. and try again.. and again..... ... ... ... ... ... ... and finally you'll have your own skin, which you can be proud of, becuase you made it all by yourself.
Remember... making a skin doesn't require drawing skills.. because most skins are folded out, thus very strange to draw, without direct access to the model(er).

edit:
A nice thing to try before making the skin for your own model, is modify the skins for an existing model.. gun, tank, officer or somehing.. to get a feel for what needs to be done.

WinZip or pakskape to open the .pk3 file...

the .dds plugin (google for it) for actually being able to edit the skin

your name is quite self explanitory

Oeps.. sorry Daffy.. I thought AHz did the bike too..

Had me confused, that's for sure. I'm doing a map using the AHz vehicles and thought I had missed the BMW bike in that vehicle pack.

I'll have to look at the BMW bike that Daffy did for my Tuchola Forest map.
