[REQ] New Moon texture

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 10:21 am

I want to put this moon into Skyrim, but I don't know how to do it. Can someone give me a rundown of the programs that I need and how to edit the picture in order to make it work? Or maybe someone could do it for me /wink

http://www.paint.net/ will be good enough and simple enough to edit the photo into a DDS file for your moon replacement. Also http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=247 will help with extracting and exploring BSA files for replacements. Also, there's http://www.gimp.org/ for more advanced editing. All the programs are free and all you need for this particular project. I'm not going to do it for you because you'll love looking up at the moon you made if you were the one who made it (plus it's always nice to have texture editing experience). One tip, for complex alpha (transparency) save in DXT 5, for simple DXT 3, for no or stark transparency (just an area that's been cut out) DXT 1 (the lower the higher the compression).
