- Main Description
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- A re-texture of the Pipboy 3000 I did for Myself. Along with increasing the Resolution, the Metal has been replaced with a dark Blackish Blue Gunmetal with accents and trimmings in Silver. Gives a a more modern and new look and looks great with dark clothing and power armor. The old orange button glow is now a cool greenish/blue that works well against the dark and matches the Pipboy light. I also re-skinned the Pipboy glove but don\'t have any pictures of it because I use a glove mod to cover up the left open hand anyway.
- Also note that in the pictures, my pip-boy has no scan lines. That is because I downloaded that fix, it is not included in this texture, So if you want that no scan line effect dl from this site otherwise it will have scanlines like default.
