Tattooed Body Texture Resource 2
Updated with Pre-Configured Body Textures

Detailed Thread Here


This Package Includes:


Five HiRes body textures for the female Exnem Eyecandy body. (DDS with normal)
Working Photoshop File with Tattoo Layers for You To Configure
Individual Tattoo Layers (.PSB Files)

*The Included Files Are A Texture Resource For TES4 Oblivion, and Intended
As A Resource Only*
(There is limited support, but I will assist if need be)

The base body texture has been heavily altered and is 2048*2048 pixel size. Exnem Eyecandy
female body is required to use these body textures. Knowledge of Photoshop or compatible image
manipulation software, DDS format and normal plugins and/ or conversion software is also required.

There are five textures with tattoos applied in a preconfigured manner, and one with no tattoos.
Pick the one that suits you, copy it to the race folder /female. Each file has a normal file that accompanies it.
(RenFootFemale1.dds, RenFootFemal1_n.dds) Make certain you backup your original
before renaming the new files.
Rename Renfootfemale#.dds and Renfootfemale#_n.dds to the original filename (footfemale.dds, etc)

You will need Photo rendering software capable of importing Adobe Photoshop CS3 Professional .PSD files, and .PSB tattoo layers.
The photoshop files were all saved with maximum compatibility.

Photoshop format (PSD)

Photoshop format (PSD) is the default file format and the only format, besides the Large Document Format (PSB), that supports most Photoshop features. Because of the tight integration between Adobe products, other Adobe applications, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe GoLive, can directly import PSD files and preserve many Photoshop features. For more information, see Help for the specific Adobe applications.

When saving a PSD, you can set a preference to maximize file compatibility. This saves a composite version of a layered image in the file so it can be read by other applications, including previous versions of Photoshop. It also maintains the appearance of blended layers in the future.

16‑bits-per-channel and high dynamic range 32‑bits-per-channel images can be saved as PSD files.

Photoshop Support
This package is meant solely as a texture resource pack of my photoshop files I use to apply tattoos to an Oblivion character.

If you want more tattoo options, I have also included in this download a working .psd file with tatto layers you can
enable and disable to your liking. you can do anything you want with them, there are practically no limitations.
There are instructions on how to use them are located at:
<a href="http://www.shsforums.net/index.php?showtopic=27200" target="_blank">http://www.shsforums.net/index.php?showtopic=27200</a>

The only limitations I set to using these textures is that you ask my permission if you decide to use them in a mod.
If I cannot be reached for some reason, at least give me credit.

Some Instructions You May Need

You might not want to use the included body as it's tone is altered. You will have to match the color(In photoshop: image|adjustments|match color ) of the body to your face, or match your face to your body. Either way, use the background layer to avoid a psychodelic face.
To avoid any color variations just use the default body, match color for face body and hands, place the tattoo layers
The same goes for hands.

I use a custom character, so you dont have a all imperial (or other races) NPC's running around with the same tattoo. I use Mystic Elf or Ren some other already made race, or make a custom race of my own.
Theres a body texture in the package, (RenFootFemaleHR.dds)it's the Imperial Exnem's body, but altered, and has some tattoo layers on it.
Assuming your using this texture
You will need to add the tattoo layers you want to use, to your body texture.
In photoshop, in the layers dialog, click the eye to hide a layer, click again to show. (Blank square means it's hidden)
once you have all the tattoo layers the size you want, in the place you want, etc flatten the image
Make sure you Save any changes at this point before flattening
save as DDS 8888 ARGB
save a normal map with 0 or very little scale. (if you want a branding effect to your tattoo put scale to .5 or 1)
save your normal map

If you didn't save before flattening the image, You can undo the history (CTRL+ALT+Z) until its at the state you want to resave it, or close it and dont save it

Check Nvidia.com for texture tools/DDS format plugin and other utilities.
I'm not sure about ATI DDS texture tools, but I know they exist
