If you want to do stickers, refer to this guide [click here] as they have provided a less beginner friendly guide, but it covers more bases than I will today.

To retrieve your weapons object (.obj) and skin file (.jpg in this case) follow the following instructions.

Navigate to your inventory on your preferred Browser.
Find the skin you'd like to use and copy the inspect link. (Right Click>Copy URL to Clipboard)
Go to https://karambit.gg/ and paste the link into the box provided.
Download the object (.obj) and texture files (.jpg)
Upscale the .jpg on any AI Upscaler. (one provided above)

✅ Once you've done this we can open Blender.

When you open Blender you will be greeted by a screen like this.

After clicking 'General', drag in the scene (.blend) you downloaded earlier.
Navigate to the 'File' button in the top left corner.
- Select `Import`
- Select `Wavefront (.obj) Legacy`
  - Find your object file you downloaded from Karambit.
Once imported, use the Transform Panel located on the right to scale your item down to the scenes size. Don't be intimidated by the X,Y, and Z, if you make any mistakes you can use CTRL+Z to Undo them.
Once sized down, select your object. ( Make sure youre in the 'Shading' window located next to File, Edit, Render, etc. this may cause a bit more stress to your computer, but it will help tons. )
- Navigate to the 'Textures' panel. (Red 3D Circle underneath Transform Panel)
- Click on the Yellow Dot next to the 'Base Color' function.
  - Select 'Image Texture'
  - Find and select the .jpg we upscaled earlier.
- In the Shader Editor menu, make sure you connect the Alpha node of the Image Texture with the Alpha node of the Principled BDSF Shader (the default shader).
  - Turn the Specular highlights down if not off, as this will make your skin look blurry.
  - THE REST OF THESE OPTIONS ARE UP TO YOU, TWEAK HOW YOU LIKE
Now its time to position the camera.
- To switch to camera view, (NUMPAD 0) or click View, Cameras, and Active Camera.
- Click the dotted line and use the Transform Panel we used earlier to place the camera how you'd like.

🥂 Celebrate! Its time to render!

Click the icon resembling a printer. This should be the Output Properties Panel.
- Make sure the resolution is to your liking, turn the % to 200 for improved image quality
- Under the Output tab, turn the Color Depth up to 16
Click the Render button in the top left and then Render Image.

😎 Now, your work is done, just let your computer do the rest...

i have considered it but honestly i never learned how to do the stickers myself and i genuinely have no interest. life is very busy now. i hope my guide helped somehow!

have you considered making a video explaining how to do stickers, cuz the guide you linked is a little confusing for someone who has never used blender b4
