ATTENTION Skinners, aspiring Skinners, and members who don't know that they want to start Skinning yet! Beanie has created a lovely, detailed, YouTube tutorial on Skin Basics using PMC's very own advanced online skin editor, PMCSkin3D!

Not only does she teach you the very basics of skinning, she goes over the important elements of PMCSkin3D to help you learn how it works! If you've ever opened PMCSkin3D and have given up due to the overwhelming "bells & whistles", watch this tutorial and see if it helps!

If you need further assistance, you can visit the Help & Tips Page or ask a specific question on the Skins Forum!
