I have noticed that many models have a skin of blue and red. Is there anyway I could have somebody show me how to do this? I am a skilled texture artist but have found no way to make skins for already made models. Example would be the pipes in TF2. I want to make several version of them in different colors and such without making 50 new models. How could this be done? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
