this is a long post, sorry :c not sure if its right to ask these here but,

 

i converted male meshes I really loved from blender to NIF with the help of BadDog's PyNifly which made things much easier but it still took few days and extra hours + Google and YouTube searches, since I had no experience at all on what to do. had to also convert the necessary textures and apply them through Nifskope.

 

but it feels like I'm stuck now since I don't have an answer to some questions.. I'd appreciate an answer. I'm just tired of searching because I just can't find what I'm looking for in Google or somewhere else.

 

some questions:

 

- I separated the Schlongs from the characters in blender, the blender characters all come with their own Schlongs but I'm not sure how to make SOS recognize their schlongs?

 

- im also trying to make followers of all of them, it's why I started this anyways. but all the guides point to needing facegen, except all the faces of the characters are stuck/part of their bodies.. how can I make an NPC/follower like that? I did separate what could be separatable in blender. but faces aren't possible I think? faces  don't have specific textures, but are part of the body.

 

- The PyNifly tool seems to also embed bones when exporting NIFS, but I'm still not sure on this, can someone using it confirm? can't I just copy an SOS body skeleton to them? they seem to already have base bones

 

- also Nifskope keeps  Showing white colour or no colour on characters despite having the required textures on characters(the base ones at the least.. I tried putting all in correct slots) this happens only when "Specular" is on(in lighting), this:

 

 

- how do I know if a mesh is already rigged? is rigging putting bones on characters?

 

again sorry for the long questions.

 

lastly some of what I converted, if anyone is curious :3 some are textured, others aren't

I have ZERO expertise. That said, if I wanted to know about making/fixing Schlongs I would go here:
