mach1991 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Hey Community,recentlly i am working for armor mods.i got so far that i have the mesh with uv map and texture and exported it (gmax). But for some reason the armor just doesnt move its like a static headchopped ghost that is following my flying chopped head and feets of my char.i tried by adding the skeleton of the malebody nif but this is the result. i am really new to modding (armor modding started yesterday). so if somebody can help me or give hints and tips it would be great. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: her a pic of what i meant: http://image-upload.de/image/soorSK/c1a27b2f5e.jpg
ghosu Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Well, creating armor and clothing is quite tricky. I would recommend to start with something easier like weapons if you are new to modding. Armor/Clothing - pretty much everything that is attached to a character's body (even the body/skin itself) is skinned/weighted. In fact the armor's polygons are attached to the character's skeleton so they stay and morph in the correct position when you move. Afaik skinning/weighting armor is only possible with 3DsMax and Blender, both need own nif plugins so you can import/export skinned nif files. You might check out the tutorial section in the MOD TALK board for skinning tutorials - or youtube. If you really want to start with skinned objects you might test a helmet...i'm using 3DsMax, same method as this guy: Armor is harder to import since you have weight it by hand... there is a written 2part tutorial for Blender somewhere in the MOD TALK tutorial sticky thread as well.
