Connectamabob Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm trying to combine a couple tattoos from the PSD file in this mod:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30027//?onto this skin:http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32986/? I'm using GIMP 2.8.4 with the DDS plugin. Mostly the process goes smoothly, but I'm having a few difficulties. My main problem is that the image is getting altered somehow during DDS export so it's no longer square. Something in the export process is widening the image by attaching a band of blank pixels to the left edge, which of course screws up the texture alignment when placed on the body mesh in-game. Everything seems fine up to that point: layers have all been resized to match and properly aligned, with the overall image ppi and pixel count sizes being properly square. Any ideas how to fix this, or what I may be doing wrong? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connectamabob Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Okay, I found a workaround. By exporting to PNG format first, then opening the PNG and re-exporting to DDS I can get a usable DDS. Would still love to know why I can't just export straight to DDS, but at least I can get the job done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
