Basic Skin Editor

I know this is probably asked for constantly, but I have some input about it.

An image drawing tool, with a low opacity skin diagram that appears only when the mouse goes off the drawing panel. This would be a huge help because it allows skin makers to not have to constantly check for things like, side of the neck, and crotch, and hands. The very tiny things that appear in difficult places. As well as a diagram that shows how the skins folds.

So that way I wouldn't place the shoulders backwards, or the underside of the head the wrong way around.

This is less of a request of the game, but more likely to be created by a fan of the game. I understand coding but I am not fluent enough to make anything with a visual representation. Is something like this already in progress, or is this such a commonly asked question that I will get in trouble. Leave a response and let me know.

This should be coming with the new modding API.

This is already super easy with just about any graphics / drawing software. There's a skin template that comes with the game files... or load up the default "Dave" skin. Set this as a background, or layer1, with transparency or overlay. Inactivate and lock that. That's your template. Set your active layers now, and draw away and make your glowy bits layer.

What he said. Just add notes to it so that you can figure out the difficult bits (which way the underside of the head faces, etc.)
