Narcotix72 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I want to build a mod, and animation, but I have NO experience with building mods or animations. I don't know how to do anything, I don't even know where to begin. I Need help. what I want to do is build a shoulder holster for pistols, revolvers and SMGs for New Vegas. And I want an animation to match, so when the weapons holstered, it sits in the sling under the arm, like it would in a real life situation. Also, My character is a wanderer, so he wears a back pack and a satchel, I'd like for it to not cancel out the back pack or his satchel. I don't know if that's something that's possible or not. If anyone is familiar with the Flashlight NVSE mod, then you'll know what I mean when I say I want it to fit like the tactical harness. which basically is what I'm looking for. just add a holster, and an animation to that and you'll have it.

nivea Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Creating custom armor and adding it in game, which you will need for the holster. As well as animation tutorials:http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Category:Tutorials There are not alot of animators out there, most likely because I hear it is difficult and a pain in the butt to do. So I wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcotix72 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Thank you. That's a lot to take in, it's a little overwhelming. Edited September 22, 2013 by Narcotix72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivea Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yeah, your best bet is to start by just messing around with armor and getting used to your choice in program (Blender/Max/Maya/ect) before you jump head first into animations.

Narcotix72 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 where do I get these programs? Blender, specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArekkusuStorm Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) From here, but Nif Scripts only supports up to blender 2.49b, so it would just be easier to get this instead, since it has all the required files you need. (including blender) Edited September 23, 2013 by ArekkusuStorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcotix72 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 do I need all three of those files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArekkusuStorm Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Depends on what three you're talking about.. The core files you need are these:- Blender 2.49b- Python 2.6.6- Pyffi 2.1.11- NIFscripts 2.5.8 All of which are already included in the Portable Blender link I provided. Or.. if you really want to, you can manually install each piece.. the links for those are posted on the NifTools site under the 'Blender 2.49 Recommend Downloads' section.
