Porting content

[lyca5259]

So, I wanna learn how to port things like playermodels from say, Kingdomhearts into skyrim, like axel or Kirito from that sword art online game for example. I just wanna know what programs I would need to accomplish this. I have GECK and 3dmax so far. Any help would be appreciated, as well as any links to tutorials and such. Heck, I would love you forever if you gave me a straight up tutorial that focuses on those subjects.

I'm not sure if you meant Skyrim Creation kit or Fallout Creation kit when you siad you have GECK. But you need the Skyrim Creation kit. If you are on steam then you already have it. If not, well Google is your friend

 

Other tools you will need
