How can I make armor 50% transparent?

[Inferius]

Do I have to set up something in nifskope? Or is it more related to  editing textures?

I have seen some videos about adding NiAlphaProperty to NiTriShapes in Nifskope. I added it but don't see any difference in game at all

Make sure your exported .dds file is transparent (I know paint.net supports exporting .dds files as transparent but not really sure about other programs).

Then just add an "NiAlphaProperty" to your NiTriShape.

 

To make sure it added correctly go to your NiTriShape settings and check under "BS Properties" if you NiAlphaProperty is listed, if it is and your applied texture is transparent it should be transparent in game now.

As a variant in Nifskope > NiTriShape > BSLightingShaderProperty > [block details] Alpha = 0.0 (transp) 1.0 (visible)
