Editing the CLEA/HMVY[edit | edit source]

To edit CLEA/HMVY textures, it is best to break them down to their RGBA channels and edit each channel individually.


For example in GIMP to separate them into their channels you would do this:

  1. Open the texture in GIMP
  2. Go to Colors > Components > Decompose > Switch Color Model to RGBA
  3. Once the Color Model is selected press OK.
  4. This will open another window/page with each channel as layers. You can now edit each channel separately using the guide below to know what each channel does.
  5. When you are finished making your edits go to; Colors > Components > Compose > Switch Color Model to RGBA.
  6. Once the Color Model is selected, press OK.
  7. It will now open another window/page with the texture repacked with its channels together. You can now export your texture. When exporting your texture make sure the extension is .DDS not .dds, and the compression is either BC3/DXT5 or BC1/DXT1, as below.

Also you could see every DGB head material including NPC's with this mod Dragonborn head material checker - Modder's Tool.
