My edited mesh is invisible?

[Potatooblivon]

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of making a nude Giant mod and well.... things are already broken. The only thing I've done so far is go into 3ds Max and delete the giant's loincloth to expose the crotch. I placed the new, edited mesh into my Skyrim directory where the giant's character assets go, everything is named appropriately.

 

The problem comes in when I try to load the new mesh ingame. I used the console to spawn a giant, but when I did the only thing there was a floating club. The giant still attacked everything and moved around, it was just invisible. Any experienced 3d modelers know what's going on or how to remedy this?

You have not add the skin wrap most likely. The skin wrap needs to redone after every mesh edit.

Is that something done in 3ds Max, nifskope? I'm an absolute beginner with modding.

3ds Max

 

If you go through this guys tutorials here you can learn the basics from a beginner level. That's what I did.

 

It's on a playlist so after the first one finishes it will go to the second automatically.

 

 

Have fun

Thanks Ark 

 

Edit: There's no way for me to add/edit a skin rap in the same way that the video explains. Any other ideas?

If you are using 3ds Max then the option is there, what version you using?

[Potatooblivon]

I'm using the 2012 version. In the dropdown menu where "Smooth" is supposed to be, it's not. As far as I know, you need to add a smooth to skinwrap.

I use 2012.  Check again, the option is there.

Thanks Leito, I was pressing the S key to auto-scroll to Smooth, but it required me to scroll down manually. Duurrr.
