QuiteTheTail Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'm willing to try the latest Blender version in my possession (v2.73a). While waiting for the next realease of Blender nif scripts - I have tried using the 2.6.0a0.dev4-01.04.15 Alpha build, with no luck - I'm trying to export as .3ds from Blender 2.49b, to import as .3ds in Blender 2.73a When I opened the .3ds in 2.73a though, all I got was an empty 3D view (without warning messages). Not only that, it looks like Blender 2.49b can't even open the .3ds file exported by itself, and I get a strange error message: Unknown file type error [...] File is not a Blender file. EDIT How stupid of me. I was trying to open (not import) the file. Common mistake. These are the parameters I used for importing: Size Constraint: 0 (disabled) Image Search: Off Transform fix: On It works fine with both versions of Blender.
AnnaFly Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Greetings. Just one question for my knownledge ; what's the principal differences between the two versions ( i only know ... a little bit , because Blender never wasn't my " cup of tea " ) 2.49 b and the new one ? It's more easy two export correcly a Skyrim mesh without the need to " play" with the NifSkope" 's Details Bloc to remove and add some properties ( especially about the texture ...) ? I suppose you don't use Blender at this moment for Skyrim meshes but maybe there is/are some informations about this in a "readme file " ? If i ask you this question that's just because i try to finish to convert a Skyrim Outfit to Oblivion , once converted i suppose i need to change manuallly the "nif" version and a lot of different names to assign the right name to each nodes ... and that's really not " funny" ...:°) . In fact i just take a look at a previous converted mesh ( not well done enough to be used right now ) - Converted with the Gerra6's Converter - of course , i'm not really interresting to convert something from Skyrim ( maybe to , but not from ) but that's just for a request here , and i would like to know why and where a problem is in the process ... so as i said just for my " knownledge" . Cheers.
QuiteTheTail Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Greetings. Just one question for my knownledge ; what's the principal differences between the two versions ( i only know ... a little bit , because Blender never wasn't my " cup of tea " ) 2.49 b and the new one ? It's too soon for me to give you an answer. For now, I can only notice a significant difference in the interface layout, some functions have different names, some new functions have been added. I'm confident that in a couple of weeks I'll get the hang of it. We'll be back to the subject, then. It's more easy two export correcly a Skyrim mesh without the need to " play" with the NifSkope" 's Details Bloc to remove and add some properties ( especially about the texture ...) ? Possibly. But it's something I've never tried (and I don't have Skyrim here). I suggest you direct this question to someone in the Skyrim section. I suppose you don't use Blender at this moment for Skyrim meshes but maybe there is/are some informations about this in a "readme file " ? No. I've been playing vanilla Skyrim so far, and I never tried to mod myself. I don't even know if Skyrim meshes are in nif format! All I can share is that you need to use a transitional format like .3ds to work in 2.73a, as it cannot import/export NIFs. And finally use 2.49b to export in NIF (so, sorry but it seems that you must repeat the painful procedure in Nifskope).
AnnaFly Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 ... sorry , in the Blender site i saw only the latest version ... but this one is the 2.75 A and not 2.73a as you wrote ... That's correct ? So in this case , the version 2.49 b is sure ( stable and we already know how to use it with Skyrim too even if it's not really " funny " ...) , so why the version 2.76 and not the last one ? I only know the version 2.49b " portable" ... justin case ... Cheers. http://www.blender.org/
QuiteTheTail Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 ... sorry , in the Blender site i saw only the latest version ... but this one is the 2.75 A and not 2.73a as you wrote ... I got the installer many weeks ago (months perhaps). I don't check regularly for updates...
