📋 About This Mod
Update:MadCat221 added some awesome matching normal maps to go along with this resource. Download has been added. Update: Uploaded TGA versions of the textures which hold quality a bit better. It is also a smaller download. Enjoy :) A small chainmail texture resource for modders. Features each chainmail that appears in Oblivion. ---------- Features: ---------- 1. 2048x2048 jpg files that are tileable and are meant to supplement your texture when making a new texture and wanting it to match vanilla assets. 2. Also includes a tiled version of a copper chainmail picture I found on the internet on (http://cgtextures.com/). Does NOT include: 1. Grayscale alpha versions for normal maps (what allows you to give the chainmail gleam). 2. Normal maps. ------- NOTES: ------- These are not perfectly generated. I used a program called ImageSynth 2 and didn\'t get too detailed in generating the files as this is primarily a texture to be inserted and chopped up into another texture. It just makes it easier to add large blocks of chainmail, as it requires a bit of work to get good tiling chainmail if you just pull from one of Bethesda\'s textures and manually work it until it fits for you. I used to manually do chainmail for my texturing and wanted an easier way to do it so I made these after I obtained ImageSynth 2 and realized just how easy it would be. -------- CREDITS -------- -MadCat221 for some amazing normal maps to match these textures. -Bethesda for the original textures. -ImageSynth 2 for allowing me to make nice seamless textures (http://www.luxology.com/whatismodo/imageSynth/) For an example of what it is capable of, see http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b9/bchick222/before_and_after.jpg -Photoshop for cropping the original textures into a sample - (http://cgtextures.com/) for the copper chainmail image -------- USAGE -------- Free to use, no need to credit (though it would be nice).
