I will post some more pics tomorrow ;) @PeterBitt: I added specular mapping, meaning you can make certain parts shiny and others not so shiny. Use the alpha channel of the diffuse texture to control this (alpha value of 1 = shiny). materials.zip Great! But Alpha channel of diffuse map? Not normal ma...

Wow that was fast! Thank you very much.
The screenshot looks great, these are next-gen vanilla textures

Ah great! Cant wait for that, speculars should make for some pretty amazing results :) Making OpenMW detect and use normal maps by filename will definitely come post 1.0, yes? Just asking so I can be sure that I have some real annoying NifSkope work in front of me, as I want to make all vanilla text...

What has to be done exactly to have specular highlights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_highlight) on a normal mapped mesh show up in OpenMW? I tried many different Nifskope settings but nothing really worked. I hope that someone here has experience with that and can post a short tutorial abo...

Could you add speculars to the mesh I posted? :p
Yeah sure, I am going to play around more with normal maps the next days and will post some screens right here.
If only I wouldnt need to edit all those freaking meshes haha.

Sorry what do you mean? The normal maps have to much contrast (I increased it for testing)?

In the NiSpecularProperty, make sure the "flags" field is set to "1". Hhmm I guess this is the wrong place for my Nifskope problems as you guys have better stuff to do, but I just cant get speculars/dynamic highlights working in OpenMW ... they dont even really show up in nifsko...

Also I wanted to ask if its somehow possible to add shinyness to a material, like this http://www.abload.de/img/brdf_schlick02cdl3x.png? When I set up my material like this in 3d max it kinda shows up in nifSkope too, but the effect is missing in OpenMW. Is this something I missed on the NifSkope s...

With materials files, thats not just a drag and drop kind of thing though, you cant just spit out a mat file from something like paint.net like you can with a dds. .mat files are just plain text files you can spit out with any editor of your choosing. material foo { parent openmw_objects_base diffu...
