In response to post #39466970. Coming from somebody who's avatar features the Nova StarCraft 3 model that was ripped and redistributed without permission (and widely begged for by the community that is so into permissions and rights) and then the post above talking about assets stolen from Blizzard. Perfect :wink:)

I guess that's true, but the system I was thinking of didn't have to be direct to nexus, as long as there was some verification process that someone was a mod author and what they were posting is there's. there has to be a simpler way then having to deal with DMCA take downs and people taking there own mods off-line because if someone has a copy of the mod, like pirated content they'll just keep reposting it and sooner or later we might end up seeing game mods on torrent sites... Uuuugh, that just brings a cold shiver down my spine. DMCA's are the reality that DAZ 3D and Renderosity content creators have had to live with for years now. The sad fact is that a lot of end users / modders will happily use and share stuff without permission if it's from outside their sandbox.

To my eternal shame I fell for the last hoax, hook line and sinker. So I'm not even going to process anything unless Hines confirms it from now on :sad:

Never had this happen myself :s Have you got 4 objects selected when adding that unwrap modifier? or is that 4 faces selected? If so try doing your UV edits one object at a time. Only other things I can suggest are usual safety measures such as resetting xforms, convert to poly or try exporting as .obj and then re-import. Hopefully one of the more knowledgable Max modelling folks like Ghogiel might see this and have some better ideas anyway.

Wow, your character looks fantastic! Yes, I would very much like to try making a character similar to yours since it seems there's no way to get mine to look good using the character creation. I have some extended character edit mods installed, but I can't seem to get it right. It seems the only option is if you're willing to help me. There is one other option I thought of actually. If I created a character using someone else's presets or saved game file and then just added elf ears and changed the skin color depending on the original race. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do that though. Hiya - playing around with ears would be one way to do it. Way I did mine as far as I can recall is just by using "Enhanced character edit" and using the default female face normal map instead of the actual dunmer one : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\actors\character\darkelffemale - make a backup of the "femalehead_msn.dds" texture you have in there and copy one from the "female" folder to replace it. Maybe give that a try. I also did a few other little things like making karliah's eyes playable and creating some new skin tones in the toolset.

Here's a shot of my current Dark Elf : http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/312341/ - if you like the look, I can tell you how I did it. (It does involve some work in the Construction Kit)

It's called "Elven strapped" and was released for POSER/Daz as a freebie by it's creators, so there's no reason why someone who has a Skyrim port of it can't share it with you. I ported it myself but for my custom unp mesh not regular or unpb.

http://i.imgur.com/hb27zt9.jpg Honestly... This Syria 'analysis' is getting as bad as the internets attempts to catch the Boston bombers.

It's possibly the Material ID problem, if you do have multiple ID's that are necessary (1 model using multiple textures) then gradually separate it into ID's by cloning the mesh and then deleting one of the ID's - check the dismember modifiers when done.

It's emblematic of a lot of laws - well intentioned (behave yourselves and don't make your neighbours lives hell if you want to live here - because if we threaten to boot you out you'll all play nice right? Right?) but falls flat on it's face in execution and detail. I've lived with horrible hell raising neighbours many times, lost the plot and gave one of them a good thumping once after goading him into a fight since the guy and g/f were literally putting my life at risk due to the lack of sleep I was getting. Now with that said, the situation in the o.p. is absolutely appalling. There should be restraining orders on these a-holes for openers. I realise it can get complicated when there's free will and second chances being given by the victim in some cases, but jesus where's the aggravated assault, trespassing, breaking and entering etc?... I think MB is a being a little over cynical in the property values and misogyny thing, sure those maybe well be elements somewhere in the mix, but I think it's mostly to do with my first sentence.

Heh, I remember when I still played that and some guy was griefing everyone during the argent dawn stuff that came before Lich King expansion. GM's told me to "resolve it 'in game' " :mellow: Nothing we could do, so we actually had to give up on the event. Anyway, I've tried both of the games you were thinking of and they have a lot in common actually regarding gameplay (small amount of skills on your bar, focus on evading damage rather than having to heal through everything), but I'd run with GW2 first, as it really feels a lot more polished and as though they've spent a long time thinking about the pitfalls of other mmo's and tried to address them. Neither are perfect however and I think to get the most out of either, you're most likely going to want to find a guild to join as solo'ing certain elements of both games can get a bit tedious. Hope it helped a little :)

Quoted for lulz and Irony Indeedy. Pretty much my thoughts ^ Oh, and Jim, not any kind of judgement on my behalf ..but I know a few female gamers and a lot of feminists of varying seriousness - they would pretty much all facepalm bigtime if they saw your imageshare pics and then this thread.. just saying..

What you are asking is illegal unless you can obtain permissions from the owners of the assets you list.

"The truth" is not universally applicable. Its only your truth. You aren't. I am curious why you think I've been banned previously however. Heck, I've helped the mods here catch repeat-offending content thieves with pretty much the same process, checking the mod itself just added a satisfying confirmation :dance: But anyway, I personally think the moderators here could afford to be a lot stricter so it seems our mileage varies doesn't it?

Just add an alpha property as you would have done in the past (or paste one in from another .nif) and then in the ninode of the branch you want the alpha in scroll down to it's properties in block list and add it's number in there : http://i.imgur.com/7CyG8.jpg Hope that works :)

My guess would be that it's breaking the mesh at the uv seams on import, maybe tick weld on the import gui and try that

So blocking a website that allowed me to buy a thermonuclear weapon would be censorship? If we follow this train of thought then killing someone would be censorship :S

Title says it all. Queries about how to do stuff being posted in troubleshooting instead of mod talk, Mod detectives thread becoming a request thread, tons of posts relating to similar issues means useful threads are getting buried. No particular suggestions, since I'm a forum nab, I know it's an end user problem really but maybe some merges are in order? Also I think this thread should definitely get a sticky : http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/478312-tutorial-3ds-max-skinned-meshes-into-game/ Thoughts anyone?

depth? Failing that a great sense of humour : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXCvyrtVHOc

Assuming you have a duplicate pair for body_0 and body_1, the only thing I can think of is there are a couple of verts maybe not getting some weight info. Only ctd's I've been getting with meshes have been due to that (or some phantom export glitch).

It's a poser outfit that someone has converted. Re-distributing is very probably a copyright breach and illegal since it's a pay for item. Here : http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/bat-outfit-v4-g4/85305#

Fixed, imho anyway.

Grew up watching reruns of the originals long before Baldy came along (I quite liked him though, but I'd seen him before in an exuberant performance in Excalibur so I kept expecting shouts of CAMELLIARD!! pronounced camel-yard btw :biggrin: ) As for DS9, well, Babylon 5 just rolled it in every way possible :cool:

Relax, they're just quoting poll results, which obviously aren't going to mean squat come vote time. Back on topic, but off on a tangent, Newspaper routes. It's a job that a lot of immigrants get stuck with in Denmark - like me for instance. It involves in my case cycling 2 routes totalling about 16km with anywhere between 10-20 kilo's of crap to shove in mailboxes. I recently got about another 100 magazines to get through per week too, mostly courtesy of Denmarks labour unions - obviously they found out getting us to deliver this crap was cheaper (we are paid per item rather than per hour) than the union represented post office ^^ Since I can't afford the near constant punctures and wheel repairs, I lug them around in 2 shoulder bags to shift some of the weight off the back wheel. Oh and you have to be finished by 7am, so that means a 4:30am wakeup for me. It gets better - Once winter hits, which lasts about 3 solid months here, I've got compacted snow - which renders the near bike useless and adds another hour and a half of time needed which I'm not paid for, black ice - which I can thank for 3 fractures and a lost tooth over the years, and sub zero temperatures to contend with and thats before wind chill factors in. To rub it in even further, I've worked lots of manual labour jobs back in the UK when I was younger and this is the only one where I've been treated and spoken to like I'm a completely worthless piece of crap by a shamefully large portion of my lovely 'customers'. The very best bit : I get piss poor pay for this, but kids doing this get about half of what I earn. Thankfully I don't even see any kids doing this apart from a very occasional one that has got a parent driving them around and helping. In short, kids and real employment (as opposed to pocket money for chores) is a bad idea.

Yeah, think you might be right, model I was working on was getting crashing in game and giving the same import error when I tried to take it back into max to check it out, a fresh export after fixing the weights seemed to fix it.
