ErianDragonborn Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Hi!I'm at a loss. I have been trying to import nifs into Blender the whole afternoon, installing different versions, trying different versions of NifSkope, but nothing seems to work.So my question is: has anyone found a program that works with the Skyrim Special Edition nifs?It doesn't have to be Blender per se, but I will need a free one.And if it is Blender: which versions of Nifskope, blender and niftools do you use? Edit:Just to point out the problem: I keep getting the "array too long" error in Blender 2.49, and apparently the "Unknown Block Type: BSTriShape" error in Blender 2.79 (if I don't edit them in NifSkope, otherwise I get the "array too long" error)....I have tried them with editing the mesh in NifSkope and without editing them...Is my best bet to edit Oldrim meshes and convert those? If that ís possible? Edited November 17, 2017 by ErianDragonborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niborino9409 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) For me SE nifs work fine with the latest nifskope. But I do not use Blender so can't say anything for that. Edited November 17, 2017 by Niborino9409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I read, a while back, that the newer nifskope has import/export disabled indefinitely. I don't use blender, so I'm not sure what workarounds there. This came up, looking in google. https://github.com/niftools/blender_nif_plugin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErianDragonborn Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 I did manage to find a solution that kinda worked for the helmet I was working on but it is a much bigger hassle than seems nessecary... I am thus still looking for other ideas.What I now do is:- import an oldrim Nif into Blender- export to Obj from Blender once done with editing- import the Obj into Outfit Studio (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/201/?) - export as Nif from Outfit Studio- import the Nif in Nifskope and add the correct textures etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 That does sound like a pain, but it's good to know outfit studio will do it. That's another thing I have to learn to use, eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another thing I have to learn to use, eventually.If it's just for exporting nifs, the most difficult thing is to set it up. Then you can just import whatever you want and export it as nif ;) Actually, I may tell you how to do that. (only tested on dwarven helmet, but I think it will work for static items as well. Perhaps other items too, but animated ones probably not) 1. open BodySlide2. open Outfit Studio from BodySlide (button at the lower right corner)3. File -> Load Outfit...4. Choose an OBJ you saved in Blender.5. File -> Export -> To NIF ... -> Yes (if it asks that you are sure because not all vertices are weighted)6. Done! Or open in NifSkope to change textures and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Awesome, thank you very much. I'm about to embark on an attempt to learn blender. >.< Will need that, probably sooner than later. Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
