How to make Custom Skins/Textures in Arma 3 

RIP armaholic 2021

Great video, my friend! Definitely going to be using this to make some new fighter jet skins.

Yo dude this is an awesome tutorial. Straight to the point, and showcasing how everythings done... great work!

Really awesome in-depth video. Been actually looking to making my own skins but didn't know how to. Will definitely be trying to make my own skins for this game in the future hopefully. 5 stars mate.

Arma 3, 7 Days to Die, and American Truck Simulator? I see you're a man of fine taste too :D

Awesome tutorial, very well done. To the point and helpful. Now I can create my "own" uniform mod.

This was probably the best tutorial I've ever seen on RU-vid.

Holy shit mate this video is brilliant, so many little tips. last time I made a texture, I just had to brute force it. Close and relaunch arma with new textures each time.

Thank you. This was so helpful!☺

Excellent tutorial! Thanks Josh!

Good tips and tutorial. Very helpful.

This is awesome, I’m now gonna try and make a hunger games peacekeeper force faction mod.

Thank you from 2019

great video mate

great tut!

If you have arma on steam just "play" the arma tools and it has textview installed already.

hey Josh great tutorial. Thank you. Question. I wanted to use the civ Police officer that cup has in their mod to create Marine Dress Blues. Any Ideas? Oxygen keeps saying theres an error and wont let me open it. Thanks

I'm planning on getting Arma 3 on Steam. This could be useful for me to create and edit some cool NPCs for custom-made missions. I'm also planning to develop some battlefield 4 inspired missions too!

i downloaded everything yet it hits me with error loading file on every texview 2 file when i try to open them and just sends me to a blank grey texview 2 file. HELP PLEASE :((((

How did you select which parts you were going to overlay the new images onto?

Broo Make video for uniform plzzz.❤❤❤ This video is nice

Hoping you're still active! How do you retexture the optional models for vehicles like slats, bags, camo nets, etc. ? I find texture looking files but they're either pink or look like a depth map. Thanks!

Good tutorial but I couldn't get it to load my jpg and vehicle had no skin at all. any ideas or anyway you could help? thank you!

ThanK YOUU !!!!

Sounds good, but how do you make that with uniforms and have them be independent and an own "uniform"

The word you're looking for is "semi-colon". Also, you can use shift+enter to go down a line rather than using a string of spaces. This works in any text box in the game including the in-game console.

Hi, are you able to do it with uniform skin? Thanks

Does it work the same for uniforms or any kind of clothing or it’s not possible via the editor?

A cool rusty sock on your head. ))) The house is cold.

I've got to figure this out so I can make apocalypse styled airplane skins. for some arma 3 ww2 planes. any chance I could get some help? trying to put it in a Dayz styled game mode

Hi I’m trying to make a helmet it’s a retexture of one from OPCAN, how do I make it into a mod?

Will these vehicle textures show up if you host a multiplayer game for everyone playing your game?

Can i put my self made texture in the original ordner so i can use it via virtual garage?

yo dude can you do a tutorial on texturing jets for some reason its different

would you be able to do a video on custom billboards or drone leaflets? great video btw :)

My God I hope Arma 4 just make a customization menu so we can pick and choose camo colors and designs

Josh is baked

How do I load a clothing texture to see if its good?

first of all THANK YOU for this video! it's probably one of the best i have found on how to get to and start modding textures! i do however have one question: in this video where you put the code to have the skin show up in the mission is great and all BUT how do we make the skin show up in the editor as one we can just pick? do we have to make it part of a mod by like creating an "@whatever" folder in arma so it loads like a mod? and if i use the method from this video and just put them in a mission how do i add mulitple skins for multiple vehicles? these are my biggest questions because your video here created a monster and got me and some of my friends busy trying to learn to create a mod for our gamer group :D so we came to pick your brain since this monster began with our watching this video :D roflmao anyway great vid! :D liked and subscribed :D

Do you think you could slow down the bit from 4:31 to 5:34? I am incredibly new to modding, I have all the software downloaded and I was following along just fine until you sped it up now I have no idea what to do while in Gimp. Maybe you could give us a little tutorial on how to use gimp for modding arma 3?

EVERYONE PLEASE HELP!! Whenever I try to open the game file in TexView2 it says "error loading file". How can I fix??

Thanks....

Sorry for the late comment, hopefully you see this, but how do I do this to workshop content that I'd like to edit ( I have permission btw).

Hey man, not sure if you're still active, but how does this work with clothing?

Hey man, it keeps saying picture not found and isn't working. What might be wrong?

Is it possible to remove certain parts of a uniform?

Where do i find PBO manager now? Armoholics was shut down.

Hello friend greetings, bro I have a question is that I have the pirate weapon 3, how could I modify my textures in a pirate, is it that I know where to download the 3 tools weapon and in steam it does not appear, I thank you if you can help me thank you greetings

The BI Editing Tools 2 setup won't launch, says administrator has blocked it. Anyone know a fix?

I have downloaded TexView2 but when i try to open the installation program it says that an admin has blocked me from opening this application, I tried running it as a admin but it did not work I have also tried shutting off windows defender but that did not work either. Do you have a solution to this?
