kami44 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 hello, i have just started my first attempt at 3d modeling for oblivion, i figured i would try something i have seen someone else do to get some practice, so i tried taking a model that was already made and removing parts from it, and changing some scale and position in 3ds max, i am now at the point of trying to get it in game, my problem is once the armour is equiped, my characters upper body becomes invisible along with the mesh for the armour, any help would be appreciated and if you need any more info, please tell me what you need.

David Brasher Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 It sounds like you might have a missing texture. Make sure the texture is in the directory you told the mesh it would be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kami44 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 im pretty sure the texture is in the right place, from what i have read so far, im thinking it has something to do with bones and skins, i will post a picture of nifskope maybe that will help some. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/Daragaaz/render.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Set Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You'll need to include the naked upper torso in the armor mesh. That's why it's missing. It can be done in nifskope. You'll need to copy branch the torso into the armor nif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kami44 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 ok that worked well, the armour is still invisible but i can see the body mesh again, now just gotta find out what i did wrong with the armour itself, anyone have any ideas? once again if you need to see certain info on it let me know, also you have been of great help so far, alot of this is making more sense now.

kami44 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 ok i found that none of the armour meshes in the model had any skin partitions, so i tried copying the skin instances from the original unedited armour to replace it from those peices, now i can see them but they look very messed up, out of place and warped.
