phantur Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm new to this whole modding scene and I'm, currently, at s***-sweeper level. In other words, I'm a total noob. Anyways, I've recently been trying to make a scarred/wounded skin for the CBBE Slim model. I got it to look fine, in fact, I'm quite pleased. The only problem is... I can't make it 3D. It looks flat and doesn't have bumps/indentations indicating a scar/wound. I realized that I have to make it via the ***_msn.dds file. I opened it up and was struck by how... well, confusing it looked. My hunch is that I have to utilize the color scheme already depicted to, somehow, make my new texture come to life... but the thing is, how. I tried hand drawing it... leading to disaster... I copy and pasted the patterns from other like files but the colors didn't match and it ended up creating a black void where the scars were supposed to be. I'm lost and beseech you, whoever you are, to help me out here. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaptTorbjorn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Get gimp and a normal map plugin tool, load up the skin texture then use map->normal map, adjust opacity for indentations and whatnot.
