There is not much space to do anything special, but it will still look much sharper and detailed than the original.

Topaz Vivacity is an external plug-in for Photoshop that will cost you around 40-60$
Eclipsed Murder
There's a free version or you could also just use Smart Sharpen.

Sorry for a late update, here's how it turned out =D

btw is there any way to host that deal you did to your ranger ancient or are the textures character specific?
if it's able to be transferrable i'd greatly appreciate it, that's my second favorite armor =P, thanks again for your help

Chronos the Defiler
you would actually need Ancient armor to do it, i added the designs myself to it so it only works on that armor. If you have Ancient armor died a certain way you can use it though.

chronos you should try this on different weapons and see what results you get and what designs you can implement on top of that. this is what i get, among other things, for the exalted aegis
Chronos the Defiler
could be interesting....i wouldnt mind changing the yellow of the shield to white to match my warriors armor...and add some designs to my Shadow Axe because it is large enough to probable do something with.

Does Topaz remove the shiny/shadow of the armor. Because when I mod stuff with texmod all the armors/weapons etc. seem to lose their shininess.
Chronos the Defiler
Not to my knowledge, i think it is how you extract and save it, for example if you extract as a jpeg and save it after altering in Photoshop it becomes overly shiny and weird looking.
As far as i can tell all my armors have the same amount of shininess as normal after editing.

yeah using BMP conserves natural "shinyness" pngs and jpegs i think screw up how the game interprets the shine and overlays the whole texture in some crazy shine.
Willow O Whisper
sry for asking agin Chronos, but are u using Topaz for sharpening the image or, are u using it for some kind of effect?.
Chronos the Defiler
both...Sharpen and effect

Hey chronos, after you did my armor i kinda went into a frenzy and picked up on the topaz vivacity plugin for myself, and lets just say, running armors without them, just doesn't compare.
btw, i've been working on adding some pics to textures (kind of like how you've been tribaling stuff) what are you using to add tribal markings to your armor, are you drawing out and coloring the arcs by hand (or mouse rather) or are you using pre-existing pictures to do it?

That is monk FoW right? not a big fan :/
@ Joe: it is 1/2 and 1/2, most is done with the Pentool, but I made alot of them a long time ago and saved them as brushes...but alot are new...so ya, get some practice with the Pentool, because it is absolutely perfect for making arcs and curves.

Damn Chronos u keep impressing me, great job on ther derv armor, are u going to release some kind of Tribalize package?.

it takes a while if its well hum the thousands of textures out there........ lol and it provides a look that not all like.

and they may be trying to keep in touch with the last-gen PCs which may not like the upgrade to every texture around them

Would you work this one please?

Well, i've kept on experimenting and to be quite honest i've been finding the topazing tool to be most effective and impressive when used upon weapons, they generally come out superb, particularly those of which that are plagueborn or tormented. Pets and minis have a nice effect as well. but back to the armors, i've been having particular problems with primeval armor textures, the problem is many of the finer details come out perfectly yet the sharpened edges (and you know primeval has alot of them) tends to come out rather gritty, do you have any suggestions for remedying such problems?

-joe fierce try lowering the threshold on YCrbR or something like that and increasing the iterations.

could you do some of that Topaz Magic i've seen on these 2 sets? and for the obsid i'd really appreciate it if you could add a subtle under-pattern like a tribal hidden in the black

Hey Chronos, with this text mod thingy, would you be able to give someone a price rurik skin? or a gwen skin?
tenshi_strife
only if they have the exact same model as them...... i prolly could find a set of war armor thats similar, but it would be a fat rurik XD. you are changing the skin not the model, new paint same house.
