How to duplicate an armor and modify textures ?

[pino69]

Hello,

 

Sorry to ask but I've got specific questions for I don't find correct answers making a search into the forum.

 

I'd like to mod Skyrim a little bit. I'm not a modeler but I've got some skills in texturing I gain playing with Warband.

I've found a good model to make a chainmail serial of armors, namely the redguardKnight meshes.

I'd like to :

1 - duplicate the mesh (Do I have just to copy/paste and rename ?)

2 - make a new texture for that mesh (I know how to modify textures and normals with Gimp and DDS plug-ins)

2 - assign the new texture for the duplicated mesh (That I don't know how to do, should I simply have to rename the texture with the mesh's name? Should I have to use a specific tool ? etc...)

3 - create a new armor under CK (that I know how to do) and set it the new mesh and textures (I don't know how to do, nor play with meshes in CK. Some help needed here)

 

Thank you very much 4 your answers.

You can duplicate the CK forms and add a Textureset to redirect the texture paths to your new copied & edited textures...easiest way, just feed the search box with "TEXTURESET" or the 2nd method: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/651572-applying-textures-please-reply/ - my last posting.
