GoblinSlayeru15 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi! I have a bunch of edited meshes with 3dsmax that appears in Nifscope, but then, they do not work ingame, they look invisible. To be more specific, are edited custom meshes from the Sky Monster Mod. When I use the original meshes from the mod, they works like a charm ingame, but when I use the edited ones in 3ds they look empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 With the mesh open in NifSkope, did you set the shaders and the path to the textures correctly? Did you use Blender to edit the mesh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphered Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 3DS Max likes to give shapes a parent node. Skinned trishapes have to be at root level to be visible for Skyrim. 3DS might have also modfied alpha and shader settings so make sure those are in line with what Skyrim likes to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoblinSlayeru15 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I use 3dsmax to edit meshes. Textures paths are ok. IDK what could be the problem because I did have previous versions of 3dsmax and always have edited, imported and exported models with no problems.

Now, I'm using Skyrim SSE and 3dsmax 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphered Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Sounds like your goal was to edit the shape, aka the changes made were to the vertices. So really, if thats the case, you can take the modifed mesh, and in nikskope go Ctrl C over the vertices, then switchover to the original mesh in skope and Ctrl V over its vertices section to paste those coords to the original nif. This guarantees nothing else got changed. If you changed skinned weights and such though, that may not work Otherwise maybe just throw up a screenshot of how your node tree looks in Nifskope. I'm leaning towards shapes-need-to-be-directly-under-root being the culprit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards shapes-need-to-be-directly-under-root being the culpritSorry for my bad english, isn't my first language, but my goal is to put ingame an already edited meshed in 3dsmax. It's a monster with I've deleted his eyes. Like I've said, never had problems in previous versions of 3dsmax and Skyrim LE. I put a image in the link below. https://ibb.co/cv1TfMh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
