Anybody know how to remove the belt from this armor? (Ritter armor black retexture)

[HorrorCreep]

I'm using the Ritter armor with the black retexture as my chest piece, I really dislike how the gray belt/tie looking thing looks with the armor, is there a way to remove it completely?

 

 

In the photo, that is how the armor looks with the belt, which I'd like removed.

You should link the main file. Not sure if i did it with the right outfit https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13638/?

But it removed the belt part with outfit studio.

Texture file isn't going to do anyone any good at all because you need to alter the mesh in the nif unless you were to cut out the belt texture using gimp2 and  then adding a NiAlphaProperty to the belt mesh using nifskope to make the belt disappear.

Since the belt mesh also contains the sleeves, use alpha as described.
The UV can be exported from Nifskope - right click on mesh -> texture -> export UV.
Or - If you are using BodySlide, create a zap slider for the belt in OutfitStudio.

I have no idea how to use bodyslide, wasn't even sure what body nif to open either.. there was Body_0, BodyA_0,BodyA_1 and Body1. I just loaded some body deleted the 6sode and it removed the belt.. but I think the sleeves got deleted too.

Yeah you willl need to mask the belt. to do this click the pencil icon. Now cllick the circle with the box icon thingy. Use it one the belt until all the green dots are red. Next click tools and select invert mask. Now right click on '6sode' and click delete vertices. I would now just override the nif. File>export>to nif 

I would just do it for all 4 bodies. Im not sure either.. not even sure this method will work at all tbh :p Didnt try it ingame, worth a shot tho.. i guess

They come in sets and there is almost always two of every nif in a set  a _0 and a _1 these are only used for slider capabilities so that when you adjust the weight sliders in game the boobs and body change. When you alter 1 nif you must repeat the same process for the 2nd nif or nothing will change in game. So if you alter body_0 you must also do the same to the body_1 nif.

 

When I port armors I only every just make one file it works but there are no sliders except for the slider for the neck to remove the neck seam which is fine for me.
