xNxmod Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hello everybody, im searching a complete manual or guide or complete tutorial about Nifskope.I also go on github but there isn't any explanation about how to use it, how to set properly node, nitrishape, shade...I also search on youtube but i found only few videos (and the 100% are made before the release of the creation kit for fallout 4).In fact there isn't a complete guide about nifskope and about set it up for creating a new gun using custom meshes.So i hope im wrong and there is some complete guide that explain entirely what you can do with nifskope and how.

damanding Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 You don't actually create the meshes in Nifskope, you need 3dsmax or Blender for making the meshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genolune Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Basically, from Blender to BodySlide & Outfit Studio to NifSkope.

genolune Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Why would you want to export from NifSkope? Near as I can tell the first step is do everything in blender, use Outfit Studio to convert .obj to .nif, and finalize in NifSkope. So what are you trying to do? Build the mesh and what else? Try using the logic contained in the videos as well as here: Once you go through and figure out all that, you can always be the one to write an updated guide. If you figure it out before I do, it would help the community to record everything and come up with a clearly defined way that is free and filled with the necessary information to make a fairly quick workflow. Plus for guys like me new to all the meshing and texturing, explaining stuff like nodes, etc. would also help in taking other users from 0 knowledge to being able to produce a working model in the course of say, a weekend hopefully.

My skill in nifskope is actually 0% but i see all (yes all) the videos on youtube about it.... I simple open this topic with the hope that someone that know (very well) how to use nifskope simple give me answers about were i can found a complete guide about nifskope, so i can learn all the utility.For example, you can also do animation in nifskope, and all this tutorials are nothing more than very little piece of an incomplete puzzle.I try to explain the point better... Normally a software comes with complete istruction or someone explain how it works... Also Millenia has searched someone who can put meshes into the game because there is an incredibly lack of info about how to understand what you can do with nifskope and especially how to do it. Im really sorry to say... that all the video that i found... give more questions than answer. Edited November 26, 2016 by xNxmod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted15964729User Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 There isn't such a thing as far as I know. A complete guide that is. Its sort of like xedit, although that has a relatively recent guide. You have to pick up tidbits of info from multiple places and learn that way.

genolune Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 If it doesn't exist, the someone should be the first to make it to improve the modding community, and get whatever acclaim from it. So whoever has the knowledge would be the one to make it. I don't have that knowledge so don't look to me. I did find this though which is the closest thing to a beginner's guide probably: NifSkope Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
