In these guides, I will try to compile as much I have learned about creating custom graphics for Oblivion.  Textures, Meshes, and the tools used will be covered, some in less detail than others.  There are a lot of guides here on the cs wiki, It may be easier to look up a more specialized guide if you need a quick fix!

I'm a total scatterbrain, and I've jumped back and forth in writing this into the wee hours.  There may still be gaps, innacuracies, fallacies, coffee stains or things just not there.  If you feel something needs changed, added or removed, seek me out at the elder scrolls forums (throttlekitty)

In these guides, I jump in and out of step-by-steps and infodumping, because I'm really not good at writing this sort of thing.  At times, this might be a hard read- my apologies.

Well, me (throttlekitty), for one. :)  I wrote this all by myself!  I've done lots of testing and reseach, and gone through many crashes in the process, and I have written this from my own experiences.  But I've certainly had help along the way.
Everyone whom I've worked with, people who have helped me, and people I have helped are part of this guide!  I've a terrible memory so don't be offended if I've forgotten names, so here goes, in no particular order:
Bethesda and NetImmerse:  Without them, we'd have no nifs, no game or their ilk to toy with!
Niftools:  For figuring out how .nif files work, their ongoing support, the exporters, Nifskope, and great wisdoms!  m444x, Shon, Brandano, tazpn and _wz!  Thanks guys!
From the Elder Scrolls forums in general:  I've learned so much from so many people in many ways.
Darknel, mmmpld, xdarkstarx, RedFeather1975, EdgeofForever, phoenixamon, ClayFI, ModelMan, Hayly, lowell, JOG, CuteUnit, Nicoroshi, JDFan, MadMole, Ghogiel, Razorwing, xmarksthespot, Qarl, NorrabMaster, and so many others...
