Tab - change modes (edit mode, object mode) Hold down middle mouse button and drag to move view You will most likely want to put the armor through various contortions and see what clips, and have to go back to blender a few times to fix what you see. You can create a new esp that adds it to game, replace an existing armor with it, etc. If it showed up both in nifskope and geck it will most likely work in game, which is the next step. To find the shader info, expand the nitrishape/nitristrip, and highilght BSSHaderPPLightingProperty In the block details, you will see shader_type and shader_flags.ġ1) Under spells, select 'update all tangent spaces', otherwise you may see weird rings and whatnot on the skin.ġ3) Right click on your nif and view in geck. Make sure shader flags shadow_map and sf_window_environment_mapping are checked. Here are the export settings I use successfully:ġ0) Open in nifskope, select the body portion and change the shader to shader_skin.

It should be located in meshes/characters/_male.ĩ) Select skeleton only and export. By default, it is in the Fallout - Meshes.BSA, so you will have to extract it with FOMM. Remember that the part of the body that you cant see doesn't matter, you can delete those vertices if they clip through.Ħ) Once everything is fitting ad looks how you want it in game, unhide your meatcaps.Ĩ) Import the fallout 3 skeleton and click the 'import skelton only + parent selected meshes' button. It will be relatively easy if it's a mesh from FO3, a bit harder if it's from Oblivion or some other game.

This should leave you with a body and an armor that probably doesn't fit.ĥ) Tricky part - Massage the armor as necessary so that it fits the new body. Repeat step 2 until you have all the bits of armor you want.ģ) Unhide everything. Delete everything of the old body, the meatcaps from this body, and all the bits of armor you don't want. and all the meatcaps.Ģ) Import the armor that has the piece(s) you want. It should be read as basic info, to do relatively simple things (if I know how to do it, it's basic :))ġ) Import the body you want your armor to fit (type3, breeze, etc).

Additionally, this is basically the same process for converting armor to different base bodies if that is your goal. These instructions are applicable to either Fallout3 or New Vegas, I'm sure the process is similar for Oblivion as well, though I have never tried it.

I am the Christopher Tolkein of meshes, what can I say? I can't make anything new. These instructions are also really only for using existing meshes in your armor. These instructions are for blender, I don't know anything else. I don't know jack about weapons, besides pointy end goes toward bad guy. I have gotten a lot of questions related to this lately, so sorry to all my e-pals who asked and I never replied.
