Designing for the AK-47 is different from other weapons. When a player holds the AK-47 in first-person view, they mostly see the left side of the receiver and the large magazine. These are your most important areas. The right side is rarely seen unless the player presses the inspect button.
When you look at the UV layout for the AK-47, it can look a bit confusing because the weapon has many separate wooden and metal parts. A great design respects these materials. Think about the classic AK-47 archetypes:
A common beginner mistake is placing too many small details on the barrel or the stock. Focus your best work on the receiver and the magazine.
If you want Valve to accept your skin, you must use the correct technical settings. Here are the exact texture specifications for the AK-47:
| Resolution | 2048 × 2048 pixels. |
|---|---|
| File format | Uncompressed TGA (Targa). |
| Wear mapping | The CS2 engine applies wear to the sharp metal edges first. If you paint on the edges of the receiver, expect those areas to scratch quickly when the float value increases. |
| Wood vs. metal | Make sure to treat the handguard and stock differently from the main metal body if you want realistic in-game reflections. |
Using the AK-47 Skin Maker is the fastest way to test your ideas. You simply select the weapon, choose your base colors, and use the tools to paint directly on the 3D model. The tool handles the complex UV mapping for you. When you are happy with the design, you export the uncompressed TGA file.
Yes. For many finish styles, you do not need Blender. You can paint directly on the 3D model using our free browser editor and export the required TGA file.
The standard and recommended resolution for an AK-47 skin texture in CS2 is 2048 × 2048 pixels.
The left side of the receiver, the magazine, and the back part of the top cover are the most visible parts during normal gameplay. The right side is only clearly visible during inspect animations.
After exporting your TGA file from our editor, you need to open the CS2 Workshop Item Editor in-game, select the AK-47 model, and load your texture to preview it with real lighting.
