Apply HDT to Shield or Torch

[Eldridge]

I would like to apply HDT to additional parts of a torch or a shield (maybe something dangling from the bottom). I read in the description page for 'HDT Equipment' https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57408? on Nexus that there was "technical difficulty" in doing this to a hand held lantern (my guess is that the same would apply to an equipped weapon?).

 

Is anyone aware of any reason that this is not possible in Skyrim? Any suggestions?

 

Many thanks

Sure, there is a here ghostblade, a actual weapon with physics enabled parts. But that is only possible in hdt pe until now cause smp doesn't support weapons ATM.

 

You can find the download in the hdt hair's thread.

That's great! I'm using HDT PE. I'll hunt for that ghostblade. I should be able to figure it out once I see it. Thank you.

BTW, you wouldn't happen to know which hair thread that would be would you?

Thanks, I found it. It is in the https://www.loverslab.com/topic/46300-hdt-and-smp-hair-list/ thread titled 'HDT And SMP Hair List' at the bottom of the list under the 'Misc Mods' section.

I looked at the above ghostblade example. It is a very complex work-around that includes multiple XML bounce kits, and skeletons within the meshes. It's quite an impressive mod. My guess is that it is not possible to apply HDT directly to a weapon/torch that use 'Shield' in NiStringExtraData, and an XML file in 'NiStringsExtraData' which would be a more direct approach and preferable.

This is why there are no hdt weapons in general. The ghostblade is more a poc.

What you could do us a armor which looks like a shield that got animated stuff on it while using a invisible shield.

This is a better approach. I will look into it. Thanks for your help.
