Thats ok but I need help over layering the picture of the weapon over the template and roating it

The .net framework is pretty crappy. I suggest getting the GIMP, which is what I use.

Who would need a tutorial for this...?

1: Render model
2: Open render in gimp
3: Select the background of the render and press delete
4: Resize canvas to 300x300 and save as .png
5: ???
6: $$Profit$$

If I did that how would I get the weapon in the template and have it fit in the template. And the weapon is simalar to the Sniper Carbine by Bushido.

And Im newto Gimp.

Of course it gets blurry when you rescale it.

You dont NEED a template. Yndaaa doesnt use one. So if you had asked him/her?, it would be the same thing.

Either way, what I just told you would get a UI icon in game on your tools list when you pick up the weapon. If you cannot figure this out on your own I dont see how you could figure blender or milkshape out. I had never used GIMP before I made item icons and I figured it out on my own.

Plus...
