    It is called blender, it says so multiple times.

    Did you miss the part about me not giving a ****?

    Dude, If you want skin templates I can give them to you, all you have to do is ask.

    Hey RaMe, is it possible to create new weapons, or edit weapons for a higher polycount and submit them as plugins for the game?  I've been using blender for a while, and could convert the .blend to .obj for Unity.  Just curious to know whether or not that's possible.

    Pal, you need to download the image.  Either that or create your own, (Not that hard, google can help you with that) or go to Pinterest and download a texture file there.  If you're lucky, you can even find a bumpmap for the gun as well for better light reflection/refraction.  If you somehow don't even get the thing I said above, go to node editor, (Above the timetable, to the far left) and enable nodes while in cycles rendering.  Right click and find shaders.  From there, you can build a skin, either using bumpmapping, Material texturing, UV projected or baked texturing, or even just a simple setup of three nodes.  (RGB shader, Mix shader or Gamma shader, Output.  [Output is not considered a node.])  The more nodes you use, and the combinations that you develop, will either improve or degrade the material.  For example, if you are doing a rust texture, without a bump,  (Suggesting a bumpmap here)  you would use a few variable shaders along with lighting, RGB, Noise emit node, gamma node, and around three to five mathmatical nodes.  Not that hard.  Just play with it for a bit and you'll make a new skin, based off of your preference.  

     

    (Note, use Gimp for creating custom Jpgs, bumpmaps, and materials for blender.  Bit of a learning curve, but absolutly worth it.  Gimp is free and can be found almost anywhere.  I know this because I have it, and because I develop games, images, photography, and random projects with Blender and Gimp alone.)

    I can use blender now but I don't understand why you need to use Photoshop

    You can use any image editing software - even web-based ones like Photopea (which is similar to Photoshop). It's just that Photoshop is more widely known as it's the industry standard.

    In the end, you will need a image editing software in order to create your own skins as skins are 2D textures.
