SSE Creating a custom weapon using existing models

[KhajitDave]

Hi everyone,

 

 

I'm a complete beginner at making custom models but I want to have a go.

 

For now I'd like to make a weapon simply by adding other models and repositioning/resizing them.

 

For example, let's say I want to simply make a hammer which has a rock on the end.

How would I go best about this? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?

At the moment I'm using Outfit Studio and I'm working on the 3rd person model first. Is there an easy way to make sure the 1st model is the same?

Thanks for your help.

It seems to be very simple so far, but it'd be nice if there was a way to ensure that the 1st person and 3rd person models are exactly the same, i.e. a way to copy and paste the position data of each mesh.

I made this in Nifskope, selecting the wanted trishape and right-click menu Block > Copy Branch. Then paste branch in your custom model, transform/resize. Note the coordinate of transform, then apply. Repeat for the 1person model.

Simple but a bit long. I don't know how it is in Outfit Studio, in Nifskope it's easy to enter your coordinate

 

Cheers

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
