[REQz]Basic Rectangular Sign Mesh/Textures

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 12:33 am

Alright so this is the last thing I need for my mod, I just finished everything else (barring bugs), but I feel the home area really could use some signs pointing to the various doors and whatnot I have for MY IMMERSION. I had originally tried to just use the vanilla signs and edit the textures/meshes whatever I could but... those of you that have looked at them know how terrible they did those; so all my attempts never worked in game. My skills involve kind of hodge-podging stuff together in Blender, NifSkope and Photoshop, so I know nothing of actual texture work and creating normal maps, models from scratch and porting them to the game correctly etc.

So I'm going to start working on learning that I'm just a bit wary at how long it might take at this point in the mods development and my own will to go through all the effort for that last tiny little thing. If anyone wanted to make a basic rectangular sign mesh (like the ones in project purity or something) + texture template that I could edit myself that isn't horrible like Bethesda's I would be greatly appreciative.

Or if you really wanted to be a saint and just make all of them, they would be "Vault" "A Wing" "B Wing" "C Wing" "D Wing" "Metro Access" "Mainframe" "Residence Hall" :hubbahubba:

Either way thanks, or even pointing me towards some good/easy to follow tutorials.

What signs are you talking about?
The lighted vault signs?

Like the ones in the lower right corner of this image?

It's kind of hard to make out but just a simple sign like the bottom left one, or like this

Don't need background lighting like the vault signs or anything.

What I would suggest is placing a blank plate.

Then take one of the 'sale sign' nifs and make your own texture for it. Its what I did with my lighted vault signs. This 'sign' would be placed in front of the blank sign above. You would have to create it with transparency everywhere but the words, but it would work.
