Retexturing existing objects in OB

[stankirby]

I would like to "retexture" some existing items in in Oblivion.

Is there a way to do it via the CS landscape editor? I suspect not but thought I would ask.

As an example: Wooden bucket...................converted to granite, moss-covered bucket.

Is Nifscope the answer? I hope not cause I'm still not trained in it's use.

I have some ideas for a new mod/world that I want to create.

Once I get trained in modeling & worldbuilding then maybe the answers will come more easily.

Waiting patiently in the country in north Georgia, USA

LOL!!!!

Well, no. Re-texturing items is not about the CS at all, it's all about NifSkope and your favourite 'paint' tool (ie: Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.Net).

It's actually fairly easy (and addictive!) once you learn the basics. Have a read through the Texturing section of The Enclave and perhaps take some time to go through the Classes there. NifSkope and Gimp are free tools you can download (links in the class tutorials).

In my opinion, texturing is much easier than modeling and those were the first classes I took here.

Thanks Hanaisse!

I have Nifscope loaded and working but dont know how to use it yet!! Time to dive in!

I also have Photoshop CS5 but have been waiting on the classes.

I'll give the Enclave Texturing a good look.

Thanks again.

These two classes are by far the best texturing classes around

There are additional tutorials here also:

In the near future they'll also be a new set of classes.
