Shading question?

[Bobio567]

I'm busy working on a few building meshes and I'd like to apply some shading effects similar to the ones used in the screenshots below. The only problem is I have no idea how to make them; are they done in a 3d modeling program or are they added with nifskope? Is there a tutorial out there explaining how to add them? :huh:

The shading is made with Vertex Painting.

 

It is done in 3D modeling programs (I use Blender).

It is also possible to do it in Nifskope but it is extremely tedious, I won't recommend it unless for very simple object with minimum vertices.

Thanks so much Pixelhate. If I can get this vertex painting down then that will probably save me a lot of time in the future!
