Blender exports only bones to nif

[parzysty]

I was trying to make stockings for ADM body but whenever I try to export to .nif from Blender I get like 4kb file that has only bones.

 

Here's the blender file if somebody could look into that.

There's a video on there by 2pac that should be able to walk you through the steps needed to properly import and export.

Have you tried exporting the file I attatched? I use those settings and it doesn't work.

 

EDIT: Can I skip the dismember thing? I don't need that.

Your mesh needs to be skinned, weightpainted, and have an armature parented to it before you can export it.

Now I'm getting the following error in blender console:

I followed your tutorial, I only skipped the dismember part because I couldn't find BP_TORSO vertices on stockings mesh lol.

 

It says "The unassigned faces have been selected in the mesh so they can easily be identified." and selects the whole mesh even though I imported the skeleton and parented it.

yep, you imported the skeleton. you parented it. but you didnt copy over the boneweights...

 

B-O-N-E-W-E-I-G-H-T-S ... thats your magic keyword. some also call it "weighting" ... at least me, though ... im not english native.

[Guest Ragna_Rok]

ps: for the nerdy-needs: you basically told your file what way to move... but not how much to move.

Ok I managed to export it but now I'm stuck in Nifskope at ths step:

 

 

 

open in nifskope

right click BSShaderPPLightingProperty
Block > Convert > Bethesda > BSLightingShaderProperty

 

In my Nifskope it's Bethesda > BSShaderProperty and when I click it I get the error "Unknown property: "BSShaderProperty"

This is me and the whole hideous process of converting armors:
