Hey all,

The links are in the Images.

As skinning is getting more and more popular for movie making purposes, here is a step-by-step guide for people who want to make their movies come out cooler.

- Call of Duty 4 Custom Skies Tutorial - By Agour

Everyone has seen 'custom skies' in CoD4 movies, well this guide will tell you how to make real in-game skies (no more green-screening!). This will eliminate the badly tracked skies you see all too often in movies, and give your skies a real authentic look. Its quite a long process the first time round, but once you've done it a few times the whole process should only take about 5 minutes.

- How To: Rip Models - By Agour

This tutorial will teach you how to rip models from inside of CoD4, including charectors and guns.
