It's awesome that you're diving into making weapon skins. I remember when I started out, it was a bit overwhelming, but the community is super helpful. To get those skins working in the workbench, you'll need to tweak some files and maybe use a bit of scripting. I’d recommend checking out the Nexus Mods forums; they have a ton of guides and helpful members. You might also find some inspiration from the amazing all ak skins csgo —those designs are incredible. Excited to learn and share.
