Euro Truck Simulator Trailer Skinning Tutorial - A Simple Guide - ETS2

[@ktgsimmer8659]

A bit late to the party but thank you for this tutorial, it was so simple to follow. Never done anything creative in my life but just did my first trailer skins and they look great!

[@RedEventGames]

You're very welcome!

[@ktgsimmer8659]

@@RedEventGames As a follow-up, I posted some of my trailer skins on an ETS2 Facebook page, and now I'm being offered paid commissions. Cannot thank you enough! I also just used your truck skinning tutorial to create my first truck, just as easily :)

If anyone is having problem with the skin showing just pink in-game - I have tried to edit and export the skin via Photoshop CS6 and it fixed the issue for me. Thanks for the tutorial !

[@astrocyclone7184]

i did the same thing, only working in Photoshop and its still pink for me :(

[@MoD1982]

It's 2022 and this tutorial is still very good, thank you very much :)

Luv'd this tutorial Leon, it's awesome to see how you make these wicked looking trailers each week! Cheers & keep up the epic work!!

[@scottfreckle237]

I can't see where everyone finds this so easy to follow, you seem to go all over the place, changing your mind but not explaining what your doing or clicking on, totally baffled me and put me off trying to learn to skin

[@Mrazgoodaz]

Should remake this video with the latest Mod Studio update, but for ATS?

[@LeeM74]

Great video. Very helpful. Saves me trying to modify a folder structure to get trailers in the game. One question though, how do you colorize the chassis and side plates ?

[@RedEventGames]

side plates will be the base colour if trailer once you choose the painted option in the parts, and i think the chassis is always black

[@archechme]

Every time I try this, the base colour in mod studio over-rides the image I apply to the trailer. My skin is dark red yet when I load the skin on to a trailer, it's just white. Any ideas, please? edit: never mind, i don't know how i fixed it but I flatenned the image first before saving it in photoshop and then when creating the mod using ets2 studio, I made sure to tick the paint job option as well as the trailer option when choosing what my mod actually is. Thanks for the video!

[@RedEventGames]

glad you got it sorted and really glad the video helped you

[@olicar7872]

Good morning Red Event. Video very nice. Congratulations. I have done all the steps and it works fine. Only thing the mod studio2 program, I downloaded the 2019-09 version because the 2020-01 one does not work

[@angels77100]

A great tutorial if you can get it working and up and running. But mod studio has other ideas. Follow Red to the 't' until you get to the mod studio part, then it becomes an ass. It refuses to render. It won't save as your image isn't the correct size. It won't export and it won't let you save. I tried this several times and there is no explanation for why it does this!

[@hulpdiensteninbeeld9155]

good afternoon Red Event Games I have a question, I want to spray a container trailer and then I want to put my own text etc on the container is that possible? hope i get an answer soon

[@RedEventGames]

Yeah just colour the trailer skin to what you want and then add text instead of graphics - you may have to try a few time to get it all the right way but it will be worth it in the end
