sarid Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 well im looking to get into making mods as i have some basic ideas for weapons/armors but i dont know how to get started i've read the sticky but nothing in it covers the real basics for just starting out and when i go through google it feels like its just information overload because i dont even know how to make a custom texture (the guide i found on making just a simple texture...i couldnt figure that out due to not grasping how to make it so the retexted item isnt all one color...) and i dont even know where i need to start like just for example im wanting to make this sword from dark souls (http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Greatsword+of+Artorias) just for a small goal to work towards but i dont even know what programs i need does anyone have a noob friendly guide? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 well using the CK and making armors and weapons (from scratch) is completely different. To start with the CK, I recommend making a house mod following a tutorial on youtube. Otherwise, if you want to learn 3D modeling, look into tutorials for blender or 3DSMAX (if you own a copy) and go form there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brasher Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Making new swords is not a matter of learning the CK. The CK part of that process is small and easy and comes at the very end. This is a modeling and texturing challenge. You will need to learn to use a tool like Blender to make a model, and a tool like GIMP to make a texture for it, and NIfSkope to tie up all the loose ends.
