Solona is Modeling a purple recolor of Skaramoosh's Orsino robe retexture. Ive spent all day Recoloring and retexturing armors and robes but most of them I can't even get to work...waahhhh.... What did I get myself into. :-(
I like it! Keep it up! Yep, retexturing isn't so easy.I think not because of the technical stuff that will come and how to fiddle around with the different maps and their influence on the outcome of the texture but I always thought: "Hey, retextures,.. pffft.. slapping some pattern on the original ones and that's it... but it isn't. I have started to retexture something for another game and it's really not so easy to find the fitting materials, patterns that the whole composition keeps authentic. Retextures imo need a certain something, e.g. a detail which make them special and a well-thought design. That makes imo the difference between a good and a not so good looking retexture.
Yeah this is just a simple color change one. I tried making some skins for Makara's sorceress robes but they won't alter them at all, they still look vanillaaaaaa....lol but I don't know if they require something different because it's a 2-in-1 texture (one texture for 2 different robes) or what. Bhtyrftfvhnfswesvjb.... lol

Yeah, it's so frustrating when things don't work in game.
But don't you give up yet. You can do it!
I'm trying! lol
