3ds Max Trick " Fast Way to convert Armor Easily"

[Guest Lady Luck]

3DS MAX Crash course for beginners

 

Things you need

•  .latest nifskope
•  . autodesk 3ds max 2009 or 2012
•   a plugin  to import the file

 

  " Importing/exporting the armor "

 

once you installed and activate your 3ds max application

installed this plugin  which located here http://www.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3874

 

 

import template for armors/weapons

 

 

export template for armors/weapons

 

 

Note : see that weld vertices , if you don't plan to use it on body sliders make-sure you set it 0.0 by default

idk what's the effect , it depends if the armor too bulky for it's own good you need to calculate the body slide to appropriate number other wise the  mesh will messed up.

 

 

Next Step " preparing nif files"

 

 

 

Trick To enable Textures on Creation kit assuming you already know how to change the default model

to your modded one ,  this is the real way to cheat nifskope and to cheat creation kit.

 

1. Backup original copy e.g " myarmor.nif"

 

2.  open your modded mesh that you just updated via 3ds max  there is texture showing on nifskope

    after you import it , but ck will detect non compatible texture from 3ds max  don't worry  i found like

    i said quick way to solve that bs.

 

3. Load  your original backup armor and then load the modded version

 

4, copy block BSlightningPropety on the original file and then delete the modded  Bslightningpropety paste the original bslightning propety on your modded armor  , you don't need to edit anything else you just need to trick nifskope, thinking it uses the legit file after that save the file.

 

5. when you done launch ck ,  if you don't do these step importing the armor via 3ds max plugin will make  the   texture white  ,  if done correctly the model will appear  properly without  no errors usually missing textures came from different conversion that ck didn't understand .

 

 

Happy modding
