Need help making body mod

[Evander98]

I am trying to make my first body mod with Blender and nifSkope, starting with the foot. I'm using HGEC.

I've aligned my mesh with the one from HGEC in Blender, attempted to copy over some of the modifiers and such, but I cant even export the project as a nif. file to see if ive made any progress. (I have pyNifly and nif tools plugins / addons installed)

I've also tried importing my mesh along with the corresponding body part in nifSkope, but I dont have much experience with it.

is anyone able to help / know of a tutorial for making Oblivion body mods? thanks
