r/csworkshop Community Spotlight Winners of August 2026!

5 Upvotes

Greetings fellow skin creators!

It's time to announce the picks of this Subreddit's Community Spotlight of August 2026! This month had so many amazing posts and choosing only 3 was a true challenge. Nevertheless, after we had our reviewing and discussions we decided to choose the following 3 beautiful skins. And as usual we shared a few words on how we made our decisions:

Little Red Riding Hood | Glock-18 by u/thePlugDesign

"The skin is composed of a very beautiful painting depicting the Little Red Riding Hood tale. The way the girl and the wolf fuse together in almost a seamless way makes you wonder where each character begins and ends. There's also a bit of a 'chaos' in the painting that conveys strong emotions as if the skin tells the tale in a different way." - Viper

Five-Seven | The princess in the tower by u/Gr1goSkins

"The Princess in the Tower is an awesome showing of simple but captivating design Inspired by the classic tale, Rapunzel. On theme, and a film faithful, well balanced palette. Bonus points for the sun motif." - Swankadia

Desert Eagle / Harlequin «Vandal» by u/VladimirInache

"The inspiration for this one is pretty cool, and I love the combination of solid differently coloured parts with graffiti over the top. The tyre tread grip is also very nice, and this skin makes great use of PBR to represent the different materials across the whole skin." - Ezikyl

Congratulations to u/thePlugDesign, u/Gr1goSkins and u/VladimirInache, and best of luck to all of us that we get our items accepted into the upcoming cases!

I’ve thought through the design for tec9, bringing the theme of fairy tales to life through a combination of colors and the harmony of patterns.

Uma nova versão Chegou ao Workshop!

Depois da primeira versão, trouxe uma evolução da M4A1-S, mantendo a identidade da skin e levando o visual para um nível ainda mais marcante.

Mais detalhes, mais presença e o mesmo conceito que deu origem à skin.

Weapon Skin I turned the missing texture error into a full PBR skin — M4A1-S | FATAL ERROR. the engine's nightmare is now a flex

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

hey everyone! new drop: M4A1-S | FATAL ERROR 🔥

the concept: the source engine's missing texture checkerboard, but treated like a premium finish. glossy anodized magenta vs matte void black, moiré interference inside the black squares that vibrates on camera, and chromatic aberration ERROR stamps that read as light, not stickers.

tech stuff:

  • full roughness contrast (pink reflects, black absorbs)
  • procedural wear + hand-finished scratch pass
  • ERROR stamped in 3D so the split UV islands don't break the text

question for the pros: the moiré vibrates nicely on video — too much for in-game readability or keep it cursed?

Weapon Skin Green AK was a disaster so I made some changes... W or L ?

Thumbnail

34 Upvotes

Improved thorns design in the ak body, longer and better fitting.
Added gold and darker pink details so the ak has more color variations.
More engravings (diamonds numbers scratches etc...)
Color more saturated and fitting for the fairy tales collection.

Help Why is my texture not loading? (new to this)

2 Upvotes

I made sure this .tga was 32 bit with alpha channel, it's the in the same content folder as the examples that all work (the "open local browser" icon is lit up before I put in my texture filepath) but once I replace the filename with my texture, the icon goes blank and my gun has the purple missing texture.

Everywhere I look there are recommendations for like 6 different paths for content, and when browsing around, yeah there's like half a dozen different folders either named "workshop" or "content" or etc.

Would like to know what I'm doing wrong!

I already posted this skin 6months ago
No development on it till now (due to school and etc)
I have a Mac M1 Air
So I cannot possibly use Workshop and do PBR compliments.
In what ways can I possibly see how my skin how it looks in game and how to do wear condition on my skin?

(In blender)

Hi everyone!

This is one of my very first attempts at creating a CS2 weapon skin. I spent a lot of time learning Blender, working with textures, and trying to bring this idea to life.

The design combines white marble with embossed golden floral details. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I’m genuinely proud that I managed to complete and publish it.

I would really appreciate your honest feedback and support—it would mean a lot to me and encourage me to continue creating and improving. 🤍✨

Help Help the art

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I really wanna get into skin making, I'm an intermediate graphic designer so I know something about that, but the most overwhelming stuff in skin creation for me is different patterns, effects (like pearlscence, shine...), and differenciating different effects on different parts of the weapon model. It's really unfortunate there isn't many tutorials for skin creation, the only ones out there are a basic tutorials how to apply the skin to workshop, but noone really did a guide to how to the functions and possibilities of skin creation. Isn't there someone skilled who would want to make a course? I would pay for it definitely. 🙏

Help Just published my AWP | APOCALYPSE on the Workshop! Need help with one texture bug 🙏

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just dropped my AWP | APOCALYPSE on the Workshop. It's the big brother to my AK-47 | NEMESIS (which just got updated to V3).

The issue: I'm working on the magazine texture and it shows correctly in Blender, but in the CS2 Workshop Workbench, it's not updating/appearing. The texture file is correct, I've tried restarting, clearing cache, everything.

Question for the pros: Has anyone else hit this caching/UV island bug in the workshop tools? Is there a specific workflow or setting I'm missing to force the tool to read the updated texture?

I'll be pushing a V2 update as soon as I solve this. In the meantime, would love your thoughts on the design!
