luddemann Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ok, so I tried changing the bump map of the thieves guild armor by myself, but I turned out very glossy. Later I installed and uninstalled bumpy whiterun and now whiterun looks like its all glazed in some sort of shiny stuff. How do I prevent this? Im currently working on the archmage robe and it looks like a chainmail, not cloth. Please help me out asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (This is from my Oblivion modding knowledge) You have to put a Mask on it. In GIMP, go to Layer>Mask> Add Alpha Mask. Select Black, then run over it with a very low opacity eraser so the normal still shows up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luddemann Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Meh, I use photoshop. Cant find the "add alpha mask". Can anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Meh, I use photoshop. Well that makes things easier.. You need to add an alpha channel. you create one with that little icon next to the trash can as seen in this image: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/images/photo-effects/creative-focus/adobe-photoshop-tutorial-16.gif then you paste your specular map into alpha channel. Save it as a dds format with alpha such as DXT5 Edited January 17, 2012 by Ghogiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luddemann Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I didnt really get the part with the specular map. I know what it is after watching some youtube videos, I havent made it for the armor. It is never includes in mods and I dont know what to name it.
