Darkimana Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hello, While I was trying to create a new companion I found that i wanted him with a big tatoo on the chest. Looking at some other mods about tatoos i found a way to do it, editing the body texture, easy enough, so i did it. But then i found the horror! i tattoed every single male on skyrim!!! then thinking and trying for a while i found another solution, making a custom texture for my companion only, this time it worked as intended, but it left me wondering... is there some way to add a tattoo without editing the body textures? as adding a new texture, only with the tattoo, and then adding it to the character? or making it an "armor" piece? if anyone has any idea i would like to hear it. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsblade2376 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 After seeing bodypaints it gave me an Idea have you thought about a whole body tattoo some people get their whole bodies painted temporarily for movies or for some other reason I think you should try a whole body tattoo out I hope you make a great masterpiece if you decide to make it well I gotta go now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart98Rock Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I been thinking about doing that for awhile, making tattoos equipable, like armor. I think it is possible, just not sure how you will get it in the right spot on the body though. I not sure how you would add the skeleton to the tattoo, have to make it like a 2D piece of armor the shape of the body/design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkimana Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) -dragonsblade2376- i hope that at least it will look cool, im not very good at editing or creating textures, but i will give it a try!! -Dart98Rock- my idea for the equipable tattoo, was creating an armor piece with the body meshes (so it can work with different body mods) and editing a body tex, "erasing"(actually making it transparent) everything but the intended tattoo. when i have the time i will give it a try, and will post the results. Edit: Atm i cant find a way to do it, will try some more things, but im pretty sure that i will need help.Edit2: just tried messing with transparencies, but i think i messed up something.
