Forums → Programming Forum → Mod- Skinning Suggestions

Hi. I'm currently working on this Skinning Project for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. I've been Modding and skinning for about 4 months now but I'm looking to further my skills. I'm using Toon Boom Studio 4, Photoshop and Acrobat to Skin and modify Infantry's Style/Body and Structure. I work on the Buildings and Armored Vehicles but I'm getting to that later. I was wondering if there was a way to take a regular photo like a detailed blueprint of a soldier/vehicle and work it into a skin without damaging a persons FPS when in-game? I've tried this and have had little to no success because the frame rate goes to poop when 15-35 spawn. Maybe lowering the quality of the picture? Idk leave your suggestions in the comments below, thank you.
