X-FHL for WMP 10
Author’s comment: “My first animated Windows Media Player skin. Every time I’m using The Skins Factory’s WMP skins I want to create skin like theirs! Their skins have rich 3D animations and perfect lighting effects. Few days ago, I started to make this skin with 3Ds MAX. Because of the animations, SkinStudio is not useable for creating it. I have to directly edit the wms file by notepad. And in fact, I really really suffered from switching programs between PhotoShop, 3Ds MAX, GIF Movie Gear, notepad and some folders. But at last, I made it and I think it’s good enough for me, a beginner, to show you and sharing with you!”
