I was wonder what program do i need to download to change skins of models in game. not change the model but just the skin and look

You need Adobe Photoshop. Geese, its too expensive. Is there any freeware program you could use to skin?

Yes. Download Jeds Halflife Model Viewer: http://www.wunderboy.org/3d_games/utils/hlmv.php

HL model viewer alows you to export/import the skins onto the model. You need a programm like Photoshop, Paintshop, corel photopaint... to actually change the skin or repaint it completely

ok but is there a link where i can get help for one of those programs so i can make new skins.

Double post, double post... the [EDIT] button actually exist mate.

There's tutorials all over the 'net, google exists for a reason. Try to type in *tutorial +paintshop*. If you can't afford aprogram like photoshop or paintshop, give up. And without a program you can't use tutorials. Please, try to search for things yourself without asking others to do it for you.
To sum it up: you need a program like paintshop pro, for which you need a couple of dollars. You need a tutorial. Both are out there. Go get them.

k well the only thing i need to know next is how to take the textures from the models to edit them.

theres a texture tab in hl model viewer that brings you the textures, theres a drop down tab showing the different textures that go into the model and an export button which you can use to export to .bmp and edit the skins with whatever you have. when you are done editing the skins theres an import button.
