[QUESTION] Fallout 4 to SFM

[LoneRevenger]

Dear users, I've recently been curious about an idea of extracting my Fallout 4 character model with possible mods to SFM, to pose it and etc. Is it possible? Those who know or have done it before, please explain how I can make this dream come true. Thanks in advance! =)

Yeah it's possible, short version ripped from reddit:

"Import to .nif Blender with [this]  

Export to .smd with [this]  

Compile to .mdl with [this]

 

Then for the textures, I did a batch convert with [this] (.dds->.vtf), and wrote .mtl files to link the materials in the .mdl files with their correct textures.

 

It's a pain in the ass but I'll hopefully be able to automate some of this if I ever want to do a real machinima with TES stuff."
