Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm trying to create a skin for
Minecraft for the first time. I loaded it as my character's skin
so that I could see it, but since the head moves around with my
mouse I can't see the top, bottom, and sides of the head.  Is
there a way to see the skin as a 3D model and be able to pan
around it?  share|improve this question add comment  1 Answer
up vote 6 down vote accepted  Check out SkinEdit, which will let
you edit and view your skin in 3D without constraints. It works
for all platforms that support Java: OS X, Windows, Linux, etc.
Screenshot of SKinEdit  When you download it, you'll get a JAR
file, SkinEdit.jar: you should be able to just double-click on
it to launch it. Once loaded, just click and drag on the model
in the bottom-right corner to pan around and see your skin in
action.  share|improve this answer The bottom right box says
"Preview broken". I'm using Windows btw, and when I run
Launch.bat it says it failed to find my Java installation which
doesn't make sense –  lea
