Where to make a request?

[GoldenDragyn]

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.

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.

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.
