Requirements for custom skins

To get a custom skins in Trackmania, you will need Club Access. This allows you to both join club´s, but also make your own skin that you can use in game.

A good tip is the game often has a discount, so it´s sometimes worth waiting for a winter sale.

Examples of cool Custom skins!


Creating your own skin
In the main menu press the "Create" button

This will take you to a new screen with a "Garage"


Here you are met with the Prestige skins. These are won through various ways during the Seasons:



Or you can choose the "My Skins" which brings you to a new menu, where you can "Create a skin", "Edit" an existing skin or "Upload" a skin.


Now in the "Create" skin you are met with an interface and a car. You can here draw on the car and save it.


If you want a professionally made skin. You have 3 options.

1. Finding a skin that fits you in a club/skins list.
2. Getting a custom skin from a skin creator.
3. Buying a custom skin online.
Finding a custom skin in a club
If you don´t want to create your own skin. There are plenty of options to find a skin that fits you.

First option is going to the "Clubs" tab in the main menu.


Then under "Skins" you can find a full list of skins uploaded by skin creators:


Here there are plenty of skins to choose from. When you find one just click it and choose "Add to garage".


Now if you don´t find a skin that fits you. You still have the option to find a Custom skin creator.
Getting a Custom professionally made skin
Many people are not satisfied with their skin. They also checked the clubs and haven´t found a skin that fits them.

The game allows for custom skins to be made outside the game in programs such as Photoshop, Substance Painter or Blender and more.

Therefore there are a lot that uses custom skin creators to help them get just the right skin in game.

Or, you can just double click them to open them in most operating systems. -me, a clearly nerdier computer nerd.

the files in a zip folder are simply compressed. there are many ways to decompress zip folders including websites or apps. zips are just a more efficient way of storing files. -me, a computer nerd.
