Retexturing

NIF Retexturing

Retexturing means you take base objects and apply different textures to them creating a new in-game object with the same shape but with a different look.

There are two utilities for this, Texture Replacer which is specialized on retexturing (and is capable to change the textures of a whole tile-set in one swoop) and NifSkope which is an allround-tool for modifying NIF-files on a low-level scales (including but by far not restricted to retexturing)
