Construction Software

Posts Tagged ‘oblivion’

One site says I need these:
BSA Commander – A tool to open Oblivion’s texture archives

GIMP – A free photo editing software; comparable to Photoshop

GIMP .dds Plugin – A plugin that allows you to make changes to .dds files

GIMP Normal Map Plugin – A plugin that allows you to use the Normal Map utility in GIMP

NifSkope – A tool that allows you to alter meshes for Oblivion.

TES Construction Set – The tool that allows you to create plugins (mods) for ESIV: Oblivion

Another site says that I need these programs:

TES Construction Set – Often referred to as the “CS”, this is your main tool as a modder. It is free to use, but only works if you have a full version of Oblivion installed on your PC. You will spend a lot of time using this.

Imaging Software – You will need a program to use for editing your textures. I recommend Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is powerful for advanced users but newer users may prefer the free alternative program The Gimp.

3D Modelling Software – Similar to your imaging program, there are several different programs you can use for making and editing your models, I recommend either 3DS Max or Blender. 3DS Max must be bought while Blender is a FREE, open-source program.

Nifskope – This is an excellent program for viewing models in 3D and testing out how your textures will apply to them visually. Nifskope has many other additional functions and is a good program to learn more specific aspects of, so check around for other tutorials on it if you’re interested.

Prerequisite Skills – Model handling and texturing will NOT be covered in this tutorial. We will be using what you should already know before starting this type of mod. There are plenty of tutorials already available to teach you the basic skills that you will need.

Which set do I need? If anyone can tell me which one I need or which one is best, I would really appreciate it.

or someone can e-mail me some
