Converting...

[bushwookie]

I've been lurking around for Unreal 3 obj/mtl/whatever to Oblivion nif conversion tutorials but couldn't find one, maybe mostly because I don't know which is the main file type for models, so if anyone could point me in a direction, please do.

 

EDIT: If someone that has converted things from games powered by Unreal Engine 3 could PM me and lend me a hand in ripping stuff from ME3 (and converting to oblivion), I'd appreciate it.

Blender is the primary tool to create/convert/rip content. Then you will need to use nifskope to finalize it for use in game.

Thank you for clearing that up, but I still don't quite understand the process of converting.

Not something that can be explained simply I am afraid, at least not by me

Be prepared to do some serious reading and then just go in and start breaking things

That seems to be the approach that most have used. I am just learning blender myself (and breaking everything ).

 

Good threads to read for blender importing/exporting and stuff in between:
