Creating Own Textures

[Jormungandr]

Does somebody maybe got a link to a tutorial for creating OWN textures? All i find on google are tuts to edit existing skyrim textures, those are not really helping.

Go to YouTube, and search using - "[name of your texturing/paint program] tutorial new texture", or something similar.

 

For example: I have the "Gimp" program. Searching "gimp tutorial new texture" turned up a ton.

I think i started at the wrong end.

What i like to learn is how to get a texture template from a mesh so that i can create an texture for it, seen some tutorials where everything is taken out of thin air and confuses the crap out of me. Youtube only shows "how to edit existing skyrim files" stuff.

 

It's driving me nuts.

hey

 

just making sure i understand you problem :

 

you want to edit a texture for an existing armor ?

 

if so :

 

two options :

 

1) it's for a mod

 

download GIMP shop

install and launch

file -> open -> " find the texture you want ( skyrim/data/texture/..." ( make sure to keep a copy if you don't like your texture )

edit

save where you found it

 

2) it's for a vanilla armor

 

download, install, launch " fall out mod manager "

tools -> BSA browser -> find your skyrim - texture.BSA

search for the texture you want

extract

 

follow step for option 1

 

 

and VOILA !

 

best regards

Nope nothing like that, i want to CREATE a NEW texture for a brand new mesh.

 

I'm sitting on blender currently and managed to import an armor and i'm trying this UV Mapping for an hour now... trying to do it step by step with this:

Stuck at trying to mark a seam.. i'm doing the B+Leftclick+Drag but nothing gets marked anywhere

 

So yeah, i'm not even near the texturing part because i'm trying to unfold the mesh into a 2d image in order to be able to do the actual texturing and it's a royal pain in the ass. Sorry for the PITA line, It's around 2 am here and i'm about to eat my coffee cup.
