[How to make a non glossy normal map in Gimp?]

I'm not familiar with gimp but I know how to do this in photoshop... And a quick google search came up with this --> http://www.ehow.com/...nnels-gimp.html

 

 

remember Black = dull and white = shiny.

 

 

 

 

The way photoshop handles it is a lot easier though.

[[POLL] Do video games incite violent behavior?]

this is hardly an unbiased focus group though :/

[some cool mods]

here is my list, many are graphical improvements. . . And if you can handle them I recommend them.

[Headcrushing instead of decapitation]

+1

 

Wouldn't be too hard I don't think. . . Only question would be having an animation that looks good with and without helmets.

[Mods for me?]

All natural, AnimatedWIndowlightingsystem, natural habitat, rainbows

immersive interiors if you want the odd Inn you go into to be awesome.

 

 

 

BetterNightSky for betterr moons etc.

 

I use Enchanted Portable Tent the best campsite type mod I've found, and it's got all natural support.

 

 

 

If you're computer can handle it definately get the OBGE plugin package for godrays etc.

 

Companion Vilja, fully voiced companion.

 

WAC Is worth looking into aswell, adds a lot of atmosphere.

[Why do all the preset women faces have such sharp jawlines?]

lol

 

I think they all look awesome. The khajiits and argonians look a lot better imo.

[Some sexy non-lore requests...]

yea I hate those weird high heals. Don't know why people dont make for RHH.

[Oblivion Mod Spotlights]

I think a series on the different beautifications that work well together would be cool. . . Let people see how the different sides of the compatability lines compare.

 

 

For instance I use All Natural, Animated Window Lighting, Immersive Interiors and rainbows and I think it looks great. However I know there are other mods that do similar things that are not compatable.. . But that may be too much work.

 

 

 

WAC deserves more attention than it gets.

[Bouncification of Roberts]

I'm starting to bouncify some of the default clothes for Roberts female body, is anyone already doing this? If so maybe we can coordinate to save some time.

[What are the best Vanilla-friendly mods?]

Heres some worth looking into.

 

 

 

All natural

 

Animated window lighting system

 

Unique Landscapes

 

Companion Vilja

 

Emma's packmules

 

Any of Emma's houses, all good.

[Slofs Hive is down :(]

awsome, so slofslair.co.uk?

 

AAAAND she got a job doing 3d work a new mmo. Great news, I thought we'd lost everything lol.

[Slofs Hive is down :(]

I don't know when it happened, but the modding community is lost a lot of original creative work, and a talented contributer.

 

It would be too much to hope her work is uploaded anywhere else I suppose?

[From Bad To Good]

the most important thing you get will be the motherboard, it will determine whether or not you can upgrade easily in the future.

 

If you are on a really tight budget check out ebay, I got most everything in my current rig on ebay and it runs fine. I spent a little over 400$ and got a quad core rig with 2g of ram and an ati 3850. Best thing is that the motherboard supports crossfire so if I choose I can grab another 3850, or upgrade to a new card and crosfire it down the road.

[BBB question]

I recommend the bbb diano2 armor, is very nice.

[AWLS mod vs Illumination Within Revived mod]

Eh. I don't know about that beautification thread. Unless you have a BEAST of a graphics card carls texture pack is going to be like trying to literally s*** a brick in conjunction with those other mods. . . And theres no mention what so ever of system requirements.

 

Proceed with caution.

[Converting BBB DMRA outfit to HGEC]

I've been looking kind of half assedly for a conversion tut aswell, I ran thru Saaya's BBB tutorial, excellent btw. . . It familiarizes you with some of the concepts. I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of replacing the body bit, and sculpting the clothing to better match it.

 

I'm sure theres complications i've yet to foresee tho.

 

Someone should bribe saaya into writing up a conversion specific tutorial, would be ideal.

 

http://obliviontextures.wetpaint.com/page/Easy+Rigging+in+Blender?t=anon

 

Here's one, between this and the BBB tutorial saaya has on the site I'd say you've got at least 75% what you need. BTW, if you are half competent I would ignore the other tuts linked in saayas tutorial, was vague and full of BS iirc.
