EllsBellsLareda Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 2D/3D artist here, and a long-time Skyrim player. Disclaimer: I have never modded anything before, so this subject is all very daunting. (i.e. Explain it to me like I'm your grandma. I'm just an artist, not a tech guy.) My goal: So, I designed and sculpted a completely original 3D character within ZBrush. I want it to be rigged appropriately, with physics, like cloth (it is currently rigged with an AccuRIG skeleton, but I assume that isn't very helpful here). Then, I want to import it into Skyrim as my custom follower. Q: How (in the bloody heck) do I do this?? I have watched countless YouTube tutorials, read many forums, and joined many modding Discords, but I feel I'm no closer to finding out. All I've gathered (frustratingly) is that I need a Skyrim skeleton and a NIF format for import. I have never used CreationKit before either. Also, my character designs are a bit more...stylized/cartoonishly proportioned...so I doubt my character(s) will match up with the default Skyrim skeleton without some tampering. I have recently downloaded NifSkope, Vortex, CreationKit, Bodyslide & Outfit Studio, and a bunch of mods [including Project Proteus, Mantella, FNIS, etc.], but I barely know how to use any of them. I have also tried the Blender to NIF plugin, but keep getting errors. At this point, I've wasted so much time running in circles that I'm almost willing to just pay a modder to do this for me. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
