Here's progress on the greataxe, itself:
(Gods, how do you shrink images on here?)

Yo!
So I got sucked back in to the game after quite some time, and thought I'd roll up a axe-wielding character. As you all know, there aren't really many battle axe mods, and even fewer animation mods for such weaponry (if any, that is).
You know what they say: If you want it done right, do it yourself. I've been wanting to do some Skyrim animation for quite some time, but until recently the software issue was holding me back. That is, until I ran across Anton's Blender Tools. So now I can do stuff!
The idea is that this'll go along with some slight remodeling of vanilla battle axes and warhammers in order to give them longer hafts; I'd always thought they were way too short. I'll probably have one or two new axes to go with it. Maybe even greatmaces?
Here's progress, so far!
Plenty of issues, of course:
-Anybody have any tricks for aligning weapons in the 3D software?
-Any insight on the odd angle of certain movement animations?
-The attack animation looks WAY better in the software. I suppose it's related to the weapon being misaligned:
-
Well that's awkward. Turns out I just needed to duplicate the walk animation as 2HW_WalkArmBlend- the vanilla blending must've appeared to override my new animations. Huzzah!
Now some new stuff crops up, though:
1: When moving forward, the character's legs are going at an odd angle. Could it be related to the IPO curve thing mentioned in Oblivion animation tutorials?
2: The character's actual legs aren't using my own animation, as far as I can tell. Is it blending with the non-combat moving animations? If so, is there any way to get it to use my own leg animations, or would that require altering the normal walk?
-
I'm also running into another issue: The movement animations aren't being replaced at all. They aren't even playing incorrectly, like in the base T-pose. It's just using the vanilla animations, instead.
Do you think its because they lack some sort of hard-coded requirement for a movement animation? They actually play correctly as an idle- albeit lacking movement, so that seems likely.
-
Yo guys!
I've recently stumbled upon Anton's Blender tools, and was just giddy at the prospect of actually being able to make some animations for Skyrim!
And I was quite successful. With a single idle animation.
I moved on to a walking animation, only to discover that the process that was so easy for an idle isn't up to snuff for a movement animation. Annotations for audio events and stuff? Extracted motion for actual movement? What sorcery is this?
Is Blender capable of doing that stuff? It IS something you'd have to do for movement animations, right?
-
Hey, thanks! I go kinda backwards, as I do the texturing first and then create the normal map from that. I usually do some hand-painting on it to get certain areas to look right, which is what I did with the majority of the armor. There are still a few areas that require a bit more definition, but the normals are just about done:

Thank'eh!
Almost done with basic textures:

Started texturing. I decided to have the armor fluted so it has a bit more detail, and because the set was originally inspired by the Elite Knight set in the first place. I need to fix the center line of scales, though.
-
Been a while, yeah? I'm suddenly excited about Skyrim again, and was inspired to make a set of armor + sword/axe & board. I wanna give this new-fangled HDT thing a go, though I'm curious if it applies to the mesh, or the bones that they're rigged to. If it's within my reach, I'll probably do a normal and short-length cape and an alternate helm with a long tassel.

Yes! Yes it is! Giving me the Steam Workshop link made me think to check there, and there it was. Thank'eh; you've literally saved Skyrim.

Having a bit of trouble figuring this out. I've got armies of zombies called Mistwalkers (And a few Mist-something Dragons) stalking about and killing everything, but I can't figure out which mod they're from so I can get rid of the damn things. The thing is, Immersive Patrols is the only mod I've got that mentions anything about adding creatures, but I can't find any mention of them on its page or topic and removing the mod doesn't get rid of them.
Any idea what it could be?

I started running into this issue a while back. Mostly, it's the town guards making their equipment comments despite me not having the proper equipment; calling my iron greatsword unnatural, or a big hammer. Then, a bit ago, Adrianne told me she wanted to give me a 'token of her gratitude', but there was nothing of the sort when I actually spoke to her.
Here's a list of my active mods, leaving out the ones that are just equipment, lighting, and such:
Drained Blood Line
ACE
Challenge of the Daedra
Descent Into Madness
Dead Manor
Cutthroat Merchants
Dovahkiin Relaxes Too
Economics of Skrim
Interesting NPCs
Into the Depths
Niflheim
And the Realms of Daedra
No Mercy
Run For Your Lives
Scenic CarriagesAny ideas?

You might try waiting inside of a building for a horrendously long time. At some point all of the cells will be reset and it might take effect.

This one's got multiple options for sell/buy prices, the highest of which is selling at 7% and buying at 1500%

Indeed there is:

The spell needs to be in your left hand, mind you. And don't forget to get Script Dragon.

Be sure to add the NiAlphaProperty block in the TriShape as well. It'd be easiest just to copy one from an existing NIF.

If you're in a tiff about having to go through multiple pages of translations before finding the original, just set the search results to be arranged by descending upload date.

Gotta have Dvorak's New World Symphony (4th Movement) as boss music:
Probably just the first two minutes.
-
Perhaps at some point, if either I can be arsed or you find someone else, you could get the upper body of the Blades armor attached to the hakama/pants. That could be cool.
-
Easiest thing to do is use the Help command. In your case, you'd input, "Help Silver" and it'd bring up a list of objects with the word Silver in them. Then you'd just find the big string of numbers on your desired object and use it with the AddItem code.
-
Objects that exist in the game world are given a different sort of ID than that object's actual editor reference.

Greetings.
...and more importantly would change loots, so that glass, ebony, etc equipments doesn't appear around the game much or at all.
Take a look at this one:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19353/
It revamps the loot and such to be more like Morrowind, as you could probably tell, by removing everything beyond Dwemer from the levelled lists, and then hand-places them in the proper areas, among other things.

I recall attempting to use it to distract those first two Thalmor guards during the Diplomatic Immunity quest. They would never go investigate it- It just alerted them and they came straight for me. Bah.

As far as I can tell, you can only alter a rigged model's position by doing it to the model, itself- changes made in Nifskope won't stick, unfortunately.
