A little help with mesh editing

[Naked Ekans]

I'm trying to edit a tail mesh in NifSkope to get a thinner tail.

I edit the scale of the bone nodes in NifSkope to the size I want, but ingame the tail is unchanged.

 

Is there a way to get the result I want editing the tail mesh or I need to edit the skeleton itself?

 

ORIGINAL MESH

EDITED MESH

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't waste time in Nifskope,its buggy,do it in 3d app.

Unfortunately I have no knowledge on other apps. Even in NifSkope I have limited skills and can only do basic editings.

the bug is between the chair and screen

 

you have to right click on the mesh and click on apply transform for those edits to apply in game

Apply command goes to skin instance with translate\rotation and scale mesh, not to "scale vertices" that he asked.It will break and deform the mesh but I see ur a "pro" at Nifskope.Good luck.

I wouldn't do it with nifskope, even if i do, i will edit the main skeleton (skeletonbeast.nif) but still i wouldn't recommend it. The reason is tail is skinned/weighted and editing the scale with nifskope can make it as romeozero mentioned above my post. You'll require 3D editing (blender/3Dmax) to do the trick. or the quick way

 

I remember there is a slider for "Beast" from XPMSE plugin in racemenu for adjusting beast tail.

unlike you that blabla blabla, i just told him how to do what he want to do

and it's a bone he have edited, you didn't bother reading his post?

 

won't look like that in game if you just do that, because that's just the preview

to apply the edit, you click on apply

and... that's all

Maybe its you, who who didn't read it carefully ?. He want to scale X  coordinate.Check the "Picture"

BTW bones in single meshes can't be modified no matter what, only Skeleton (nif) biped controller can do it and object vertices needs to be skinned on bones.So he either need to modify Skeleton or the mesh - uniform scale in 3d app. Variant 2 is faster.

Dont know about bodyslide tool..

Thanks for the answers, but yeah, no luck with yatol's method.

You can surely edit that with outfitstudio.

[Naked Ekans]

Okay. Outfit Studio did the trick.
