I would like to make a new Body style for the Barstow, but what programs do I need? And how much skill does it take? Can newbies do it?
You will mostly need the following software: Blender, Notepad ++, NodeBeam Editor and Gimp. A good image editing software always helps. It takes a moderate skill, so always take your time, and don't get mad if you feel like your failing. Newbies can do it; it just takes time and effort. Reading the Wiki Helps as well.
