tek753 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi all, Very new to graphical stuff, but I've been spending a lot of time in Nifscope and Photoshop, and have been able to finally get my custom campfire nif to be any color I want. Pretty cool.The problem is now I want it to be black but Skyrim seems to show black as transparent. So if I did pure black, there would be no flames. Would anyone have any idea why this would be? I thought perhaps I was saving the nif or dds wrong, but I even found another modder who did this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5546/? and temporarily using his dds didn't seem to make any difference (the black is still invisible). Is there a special approach to using Black with dds in Skyrim? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing just that - that explains why it was disappearing. So...I'm sure this is a complex answer. If black is off limits, how could I make a black campfire?
