Fallout 4 to Blender

[gingerd]

I've been trying (without much success) to get Fallout models into Blender and I've run into a few snags. I can get nif files into blender easily enough, but I've been struggling to find a way to get at the contents of esp files or converting the texture files (BSGM?) into a simple image file I can edit. I've sen ways to turn the textures into json files, but that won't let me edit the files the way I need to. Hopefully someone here has some ideas.

I feel your pain.............I've tried to get Niftools to install into Blender for some time now, and they just flat refuse to do so!

BGSM - Material files

BGEM - Effect Files - the same, but more features (alpha blending etc.)

 

In this container are the dds.

You can open, edit and create new with Material Editor by ousnius:

Are the texture in archive, you must extract the ba2 before. For example with:
