[Closed] Rigged Skull clutter mesh for armor mashup usage

[Jormungandr]

If someone got the time and skills to rig a little mesh i'd like to ask if he could rig the "sarcophagusskullfetishkey01.nif" so that it can be used for mashups.

 

I intent to use it as a sort of pauldron, if that helps.

 

if someone wants to know what skull that is:The one at the Sarcophagus

It doesn't really work like that..  You'll need to place it in your scene and get it into position first i.e on the shoulder or wherever.  Objects like this are certainly easy to rig in max though, If used as pauldrons - after adding a skin modifier I'd likely add a clavicle and upper arm twist bone and then give them equal weights.  This'll prevent it from stretching or warping.  Keep in mind the eyes are using a different texture too so it's a separate object and will need to be attached to the skull to make it easier to place.

 

If you don't have a blender or max thhen I could take a guess on position and set two up as pauldrons - you'd probably run into clipping on some stuff you wanted to add them into however

[Jormungandr]

Wow.. well i have no idea about rigging and weighting, all i know is how it looks when it's messed up heh. Thought it'd be easier since it's a vanilla mesh.

Did i understand that correct? If i put the stuff together in nifskope, you'd do that?

[unscwupulous]

no need to do anything - I can set it up so you'd just need to paste it in via nifskope.  I'll take a look at it after dinner

Awesome, thanks!

Unfortunately the vertex colors on the eyes got lost so it'll be a different glow effect but try this

skulls.nif

[Jormungandr]

There's a slight problem.

 

 

 

The skulls are static O_o

[unscwupulous]

Doh.. It's my export.  you need to edit the shaders and in the top line of properties (shader flags1) pull down the dropdown box and tick SLSF 1_Skinned.

 

Do that for each node and it should work

[Jormungandr]

Uhm that turned the skulls invisible now.

[unscwupulous]

Strange... Worked for me 

 

 

 

 

Post the nif you are trying it on maybe?

[Jormungandr]

That'd be these.

tribun_heavyrobes_0.nif

tribun_heavyrobes_1.nif

[unscwupulous]

After you rescale you need to apply the transform (right clicking on the tri-shapedata node - transform -> apply)

 

I did that so these should be fine now

 

 

tribun_heavyrobes_0.nif

tribun_heavyrobes_1.nif

[Jormungandr]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

 

 

 

[unscwupulous]

No worries!  Don't forget you can change the glow color and adjust the strength too

[Jormungandr]

Hmm how that?

[unscwupulous]

find the tri-shapes where the eyes are in nifskope and then go to the shader property :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the parts I highlighted in red control glow - double clicking emissive color brings up 3 boxes with red, green and blue values (between 0 and 1 or anypoint in between like 0.5)

and the Emissive Multiple below it is strength of the glow, I already set it to 2 as seen in pic, try between 2 and 5 for starters

[Jormungandr]

I dare to say this is exactly what i wanted, red glowing eyes in those skulls.

 

 

 

 

Awesome.
