Do you know where this texture file is?

Anyone know where the sky texture is? I've been searching, but haven't had any luck.

 

Was wanting to mod the color of the sky, to a more saturated blue sky color.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

You've opened the textures.bsa using the FO3 Archive utility?

There is a whole folder called "SKY" in it.

and there's no texture for the blue sky, just moons, stars, galaxies, clouds.

 

I'm trying the 'Alpha' file right now, see if that's anything. So far, I haven't been able to locate the right file. Thanks though

Well, there is a texture file called "alpha.dds", however I have no idea what you'd be trying to do with it as it's simply a black 32x32px square texture. My best guess is that it might be some sort of baseline for alpha channels within the texture files which are utilized as specular maps for the associated texture.

Now, if you are looking to make adjustments to the "alpha channel" of a particular sky texture, then that is a totally separate process.

In any case, here is filepath: \data\textures\sky\alpha.dds

But, as pointed out by ghosu, you will need to extract this texture file from the "Skyrim - Textures.bsa" archive inside the data folder. Remember that you will need to use a DDS browser/extractor in order to get the file, and the best one around at the moment is the one used in the Fallout Mod Manager.

No luck. Will wait for CK to see if there are any ways of doing this (recoloring sky)
