I'm pretty proud of this for a first go at TES modding. I couldn't find a helmet that matched the Gen. Tullius armor that I swiped from him via the console. All the Imperial metal stuff is silver. So I found a mod on the nexus that adds a red crest to the elusive full face Imperial helmet, but the red didn't match and of course it's still silver.
I spent awhile figuring out .dds plugins and a such and came up with this. I edited both the cloth and the metal to match General Tullius' outfit. It looks better in some lighting conditions than in others. I might need to darken it just a hair, though it matches the brightness of the lions on the belt pretty well.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
I think I might be missing something about why it seems shinier than other parts?
