Clipz43 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I recently downloaded NifScope and Gimp in an attempt to learn how to make textures and meshes and the like, but when I went to use them I had no clue how to use them. So if anyone could point me to a good tutorial or try to expain it to me I'd be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
