GoldenDragyn Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Where can I make a request on nexus? I have a mod that includes a hair. I would prefer if it actually had texture instead of looking like it is "cell shaded". I am a beginner when it comes to editing dds files. I have gimp and paint.net. I have just watched a few tutorials so far. This left me with the questions of 1. Add texture to existing dds or 2. Retexture the nif. I would be an absolute newbie at that. The hair in question comes from a Miku mod originally ported to skyrim now fo4. Thanks in advance for reading and any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jharets Posted Thursday at 02:19 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:19 PM You're at the place to make a request, wether or not people respond is its own problem, you could also try discord servers. If you really wanna try it yourself ill give you some simple steps. Option 1: Add texture to the existing DDS Open the hair texture DDS in GIMP or Paint.NET. Use a hair texture overlay (find free textures online). Adjust the opacity and blend mode (try Multiply or Overlay). Save the file as BC7 Option 2: Edit the NIF model (Advanced) You'd need NifSkope to tweak shading. Editing normal maps can help reduce the "cell-shaded" effect.

RoNin1971 Posted Friday at 12:35 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:35 PM What about option 3? Change the material or effect file. (edit or copy) With new textures. if you edit the original, no further work is needed. In case of a new material, Either swap the material (BGSM) or effect (BGEM) inside the nif -or- use a swap inside CK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
