This guide aims to be as easy to follow and new-modder friendly as possible, though be aware that several of these steps are slightly complex so please follow directions carefully. I was wrong, and it was significantly more complex than I anticipated, and most already existing guides assume you already have a significant amount of things set up in your modding environment, as well as knowledge beyond what the casual modder would typically have. When I first began experimenting with this, I assumed it would be a fairly straightforward and easy thing to do – most character customization options are. Part 1 covers the creation of the overlay design – if you’ve already created your design, feel free to skip to Part 2 for how to add it to your game. This includes both creating the design and adding it into your game. If you can get a good scan of plain newsprint, that'll help give you some texture too.This step-by-step guide will teach you how to create and add new Racemenu overlays (body paints, hand paints, foot paints, etc.) to Skyrim. the halftone and the mezzotint layer a small amount after this though to tone it all down a bit.
You'll probably want to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. As scans are never 100% straight, you may also want to rotate the image a fraction too, this will bring in a little moiré pattern though (which could be good but probably bad on screen).And blended these two layers as you'll see below. I just used a mixture of Filter > Render > Clouds and Filter > Pixelate > Mezzotint. Some paper texture and some darker black spots where the ink might be thicker. You just need to add a bit of texture now.You can see on my screenshot below how I set up the curves panel for my test. Curves works great for this! Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves. You will want to adjust the shading so that black is grey and you might want the whites to look a bit blown out too.Now put the file back into Grayscale/RGB/whatever as when it's in bitmap you can't access many options.You'll want to make sure the dot style is round for this. I left my output dpi at 300 and dropped the frequency, on the next window to 20 for this particular photo. How it looks will depend on what resolution you'll end up displaying it at. Here you can experiment to get the halftone you like. Put the file in 8-bit mode if it isn't already.I think printing something off and then re-scanning it could work very well, but you may find that even an old laser printer might not give you the halftone that a news paper printer would.
