We can use it and GlossMax collocation, rapid change of tens of thousands of skin Gloss values. -------------------------- My English is poor, please forgive me. This is not I create software, the original release address in: http://shy.jsphr.net/upload/img/ups05154. 7z http://shy.jsphr.net/upload/upload.php?view=image&page=1 Author is unknown, file provided by the uploader because the original site is going down on January 31, 2012. If the infringement, please delete it. At the same time I also hope someone can improve it. For example, at the same time, handle multiple folders. readme (Thank piccolo255 to translation) -------------------------- GlossMax 1. 0. 1 -What is this? A tool to simplify changing the gloss values for skin. -Install & Uninstall Copy it wherever you want. Whe you don\'t need it anymore, just delete the folder. It should run under Windows 2000/XP. I don\'t know about Vista and later. -Usage Run GlossMax.exe and drag&drop the NIF file(s) you want to change onto the program. If you add a lot of files at once, the program could hang for a while, but it will eventually finish if you let it be. Log status Success - Overwrite succesfull. Skip - There was nothing to overwrite, so skipped. Fail - Overwrite failed due to some error. In the overwrite failed, it could be that the .nif file is opened in another program or set as read-only. -Option Gloss values can be set from the slider at the bottom of the window, or from the menu. Default - 10 Body mesh (HGEC) default value. Max - 100 Maximum value. -Miscellaneous Applied only if material name is \'skin\' or \'Skin\', otherwise skips. I don\'t know anything about the structure of .nif files. In the worst case, the file may become corrupted. Please don\'t use non-Oblivion NIF files. The program isn\'t using Niflib, so it _will_ corrupt the file. -History 20090825 1. 0. 1 Bug fixes and added settings 20090706 1. 0 Release *Author takes no responsibility for any problems caused by this program. But, he will apologize. I\'m sorry.
