DarkSpyda04 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) How do I import custom armor into Oblivion using 3Ds Max 2011 64-bit? Are there any good tutorials covering this? Else can anyone guide me in my efforts to import armor? EDIT: Still not solved. I will put solved at the top if or when I have the capability to import armor flawlessly.

As you can see I'm not getting any better at this and I'm not going to rely on waiting for replies at NifTools forums that could take a month to get. I appear to be able to get the armor to import and display in the game without crashing; progress I suppose. So I'm not running around like a chicken with its head cut off, I'll post what I did. -Imported .OBJ blackwood cuirass exported from NifSkope into 3Ds Max 64-Bit.-Deleted some bits of armor-Merged female upper body with scene and used to replace removed armor-Attatched female upper body to modified blackwood cuirass-Imported skeleton-My mesh is at top of summary info-Added "skin" modifier-Added bones Bip01 L ForearmBip01 R UpperarmBip01 L ThighBip01 HeadBip01 R ForearmTwistBip01 SpineBip01 L ClavicleBip01 L HandBip01 R HandBip01 L UpperArmTwistBip01 R ClavicleBip01 R UpperArmTwistBip01 NeckBip01 L UpperarmBip01 R ThighBip01 L ForearmTwistBip01 R ForearmBip01 Spine2Bip01 Spine1Bip01 Pelvis -Isolated bones-Exported armor as .NIF file-Put .NIF file in MESHES folder and loaded item into game.

DarkSpyda04 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Okay this is really getting me depressed now. Just thinking about importing armor makes me begin to doubt my own capabilities. Either there's a way to get ALL the info I need to do it exactly like the master at work does or I just don't ever import armor because I can't even think anymore. It's just... HOW does everyone else do it if I can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalRiot Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Have you checked out the NIFtools forum? I think you'll find the more technical people there than just here at the Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSpyda04 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Alright I'll check it out. They seem to be a lot more informed over there.

AndalayBay Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Perhaps Figment's version of the NifTools plugin will work for you. Here's my findings on the various plugins for Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
