Efficient ways to make sm skins?

[silverfoe]

Is there an easier way to making skins other than directly modifying the PNG files in some photoeditor? For example is there a way to make a skin while it being rendered to a 3d astronaut so that I can see the results in realtime? Also is there a way to make the skins symmetrical in real time (like symmetry in star made)

What I'm trying to get at: Minecraft Skin Editor

I don't know if you have found it but three years ago, i released the StarMade Skin Generator. It does not have a 3D view and you are not able to edit on per-pixel basis, but it can be used to make somewhat of a decent base-skin for you to edit.

It might be obvious that i abondened this tool. But if the need is there, i could start to work on a new tool for the community even though i can not promise symmetry features. Any other features you'd like to see?

Thanks, yea I'm looking to make a custom spacelike knight skin. If you do make a tool, maybe copy/paste and colour blending would be nice
