Jovunsk Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hello I want to change some bodyparts of a body without breaking skeleton or animations. I'm kind of new to these things so I dont know where to start Which tools I need to edit meshes without breaking anything? Is nifskope enough for me to create a mesh, attach it to body and edit it or do I really need 3ds max? I see the price of that sofware is kind of expensive Can I use Blender instead of that? Do I need any additional software or there are enough? Also if there is a specific tutorial or tutorials for what I want to do, I would really want to see them. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphered Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Depends how extensive your goals are. If you simply want to add random appendages to a body, you could instead do so via visual effects. They can animate, and be attached to a particular node, so motions will be fluid and syncd. If you want to hide or edit size of sections of the body, you can use a custom skeleton which scales or modifies those sections of the body. Animations get impacted more, the more significant your edits are. So if just scaling, or mild edits otherwise, you can likely get by just editing the skeleton If actually wanting to change the base 3D model, you are entering a more complicated territory and need to get acquainted with outfit studio and/or 3DSMax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
