Best technique for applying decal texture

[gooser]

So, I want to begin using SkinTextures in my mod: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/28386-skintextures/

 

And I've looked at various other mods:

 

- SexLab and its application of cum textures

- SlaveTats

- HentaiPregnancy and its application of 'milking' textures

 

There's variation in technique - some define EffectShader objects in CK (Membrane) and associate those with armor and armor addons. Some use NetImmerse/NiOverride calls (Slavetats) to apply decals.

 

I would like to avoid CK completely and currently thinking of going the NetImmerse/NiOverride direction...

 

But I'm facing some unknowns - particularly the learning curve for the various API calls (I know some basics - like expanding node scales) regarding textures, Z-order, blend modes, etc.

 

Any advice? I'd like to shortcut and avoid any pitfalls.

 

Thanks!

Expired created NiOverride so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask him in the chat link.

 

A lot of the stuff he does on it isn't very well documented unfortunately.
