Troubleshooting Custom Item Becoming Invisible

Recommended Posts

TL;DR My Custom anklet bracelet is visible in 3rd person ONLY when I look down from above. It is invisible when I look straight at it (parallel to the floor).

 

So I’ve been teaching myself the Creation Kit, Outfit Studio, and NifSkope. All for the purpose of fixing/converting armor meshes, doing armor mashups, and adding custom gear. I’ve gotten competent at armors/clothes (editing meshes, ensuring the weight slider works, fixing animation weights, adding custom clothes through the CK), so now I want to try a custom footwear item.

 

I’m making a simple ankle bracelet on bare-feet to start. Got my foot mesh combined with a basic vanilla circlet in Outfit Studio. Did all the testing in Nifskope to make sure its lined up, got the Creation Kit custom item stuff sorted. I can spawn the item in game and equip it. The problem is the 3rd person view. When the camera angle is ~45 degrees above the ground or higher I can see the ankle bracelet, but when I lower the camera closer to the floor it disappears. I have the partition on the ankle bracelet set to 37_feet (in Outfit Studio, NifSkope, and the CK). I’m at a loss for troubleshooting this bug.

 

Any and all help would be welcome. I’m still very new to modding, so please be thorough and patient in your explanations.

Vanilla circlets have what's called Transforms, ie; it's not sitting at a perfect 0,0,0 origin and that's causing your issue.

You can clean that up quickly in Outfit Studio by clearing the transforms.

 

I knew it would be some simple fix I was completely unaware of. I did this and the issue was fixed! This is probably the solution to some other problems I noticed as well.

Thanks for your quick and efficient help!
