I had problems with the armoir today. I got it working okay by over riding the existing mdb but when i tried to create a new model it lost its attachment to the other parts. the result is a doorless armoir which is something new which i will keep. What this means is no separate utp for the armoir. Hey ho.

That was my experience with making the chests and trunks tintable, as well.  I was not able to make separate versions for that reason, and was only able to make the originals tintable.

I missed that post,

Your chests are painted with red.dds or did you retint them with all three channels?

I had considerred chests for later on but there are other shiny things to play with first.

I made special tint maps for them so I could tint two shades of wood and the metal parts separately.

This morning I did this set:

I need these for my own mod which kind of bubbled them up to the top of my list ...

That said I don't have a list.

This table is probabably the one I use the most one way or another.

I gave it a lighter texture by using the texture from the booth seating so it takes colour better than the original darker one. The detail seems to be on the model not in the texture file so it cannot be tinted separately.

I've been working some more on tinting amoung other projects and this is what I learned today.

All three tapestrys are tinted with the same pure red below.

Up to now I have added tint to a copy of the model using the stock texture map. (far left)

If the model was strongly textured, like the tapestry above the new tint adds to the under colour so the final colour is never pure but you get some very rich colours as per the left model.
,
So I painted over the existing colour with white and got the model in the middle. the colour is pure but it looks very pristine. Still a nice effect and good looking in game with muted colours.

Lastly I took the coloured texture map and, using paint, I used the pencil sketch effect. This makes it black and white and pulls out the uneveness in the coloured texture map. You can adjust the amount of detail you want to reatain in the black and white image. Using that as the texture map gives the right hand effect.

When I release this, all three models will be included for several of the placeables. I think the effects are different and worthy of treating spearately. On some models it makes little difference but the beds will benifit from separate treatment I think.

Anyone disagree?
