LE Texture Question

[Hexxagone]

I download this fun mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62848/?tab=3&selected_game=110&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D62848%26user%3D1%26gid%3D110&pUp=1

 

I use the wooden textures for the bottles which look cool, but in my game there is a shine or glossy look to them. I don't think it looks right on a wooden texture, anyone know how to reduce the shininess of the bottles?

 

I have GIMP, I could try it myself if somebody tells me the steps. :)

Find the _s texture that they use and make it completely black. I don't think the normal map(_msn) will need to be changed, but look at it if changing the specular doesn't help.

Thanks for responding :) there is no _s texture. it has _em.dds and _n.dds

[megageeklizzy]

Uh...crap. Okay. What does the _em look like?

There's a little tutorial in Elianora's Gugels Reloaded mod gallery that could help.

 

- Open up the bottle mesh(es) that come with the mod in NifSkope, look at the model image window then click the part of the body you want to make less glossy. Look at Block List on the left panel. Go to the corresponding NiTriShape -> BSLightingShaderProperty.

 

- On the lines edited, change glossiness to 3.0000, specular color of R G and B to 0.000, and specular strength to 0.300.

The mod is a retexture of another mod, so it has no meshes included. All it has is just textures.

Then change the meshes that comes with Be a Milk Drinker.

Ok thanks ill try it.

The alpha channel of the normal map (_n) controls the specularity.

What steps or menus would i go through in GIMP to change it? I dont want to mess something up.
