hi im new to hiveworkshop and I am interested in mapmaking. I've browsed this website and was just wondering the difference between a model and a skin?

Welcome to The Hive Workshop!

Greetings gggabe. Models (.mdx) are 3-D files that represent various objects in the game. Skins (.blp)are 2-D texture files used by the models. The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules
• Your User Control Panel
• Your Information Page
• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• THW's Chatroom
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff
• [self="http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30968"]Vote For The Hive Workshop![/self]

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.

The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

• A few other tips that might help too:
  • Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
  • When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
  • Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
  • If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.
