Modifying body meshes

[casma164]

Are there any tutorials online that go into detail on how to modify skyrim body meshes(particular manipulating/adding vertices) using 3ds max(2012)?

A quick google search isn't revealing anything that is pertinent to my question. The best I found is something similiar using blender.

 

I've already modified armor meshes but I suspect that body meshes are treated differently.

Thank you

Modifying body mesh is pretty similar to working with armors in 3ds, you just need to bake object space normal instead of tangent space.

 

Most of the differences lie in the nifskope modifiers, such as using skin tint bslighting, and a few shader flags are also different (enable object space normal, set up tint properties, etc); best use an existing body nif as reference.
