After around 2 and a half month of search I've finally found the vBulletin v3 GDK.

You need Photoshop or any other program which can read .psd files. You can edit these main images of vBulletin. The images are very large so if you want to save'em you need to shrink'em first.

Buttons
Icons
Misc
Rating
Reputation
Smilies
Statusicon

Here you go.

GIVE CREDIT IF YOU OFFER IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Soon I can tell you which program they used before they imported it into a photoshop image. Because they had used a special program for making the images beside the "Post Reply" and so on.

As I promised I'll tell you what program they had used for making the buttons:

Here's a quote of a vBulletin .pdf:

Graphics
The graphics that you see in a standard vBulletin installation are not standard graphics. They
started life as 3D objects and scenes created in an application called Lightwave 3D. The resulting
rendered images were then post-processed using Adobe Photoshop.
3D graphics work differently from normal graphics—the edges of the images do not end in a
sharply defined pixel border. Instead they are matted to a specific background color. If you use the
default background colors in vBulletin, then everything will be fine. However, if you change the
background colors of the page, then you may need to do some work on the graphics. To make this
easy the vBulletin developers have made available two versions of the Graphics Developer Kit.
(You can download them from the vBulletin Members' Area.) The first kit contains fully prepared
images, and all you need to do is choose the matte color and save the images. The second kit
contains much larger layered images that allow you to make numerous changes to the look of the
graphics before saving them.

The main Program is Lightwave Studio. A very powerful 3D software. I think everyone here has Photshop so try to get Lightwave and maybe you'll get better graphics then theirs.:rolleyes:

You don't need a screenshot. There are some documentations on the GDK kit at vBulletin. Designers use this to make the cool skins.
