DemonicPrincess Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Time to swallow my pride and realise i reached my limit,for the past week or so iv been trying as best i could to make an enclave power armor(or any actually) to fit the custom super mutant body from smileytops awsome mod ST playable mutant.Im very familiar with nifskope but this goes beyond what it can do,simply scaling vertices and what not always end up making the armor and body look like a stupid blob.Tried installing blender and adding the scripts required to work with nif files but that too i failed.Tried using the power armor models included in the marts mutant ressource mod but that too failed same reason as above different body,different scaling,tons of clipping x.xIm humbly asking for anyone some help,either helping me figure out how to work blender proper to hide the clipping parts or i dunno.Im all out of ideas any help at this point is welcomed <3 thanks in advance!

M48A5 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 There are excellent tutorials for Blender and NifSkope available on the Obilivion Nexus. Use the search feature and in the mod title block just enter Blender. Keep in mind, you cannot use the newest Blender with the available Nif Scrips.Download and use Blender 2.49. You will also need to install, in this order "Python", "Blender", "PYFFI", "NifScripts" and "NifSkope". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonicPrincess Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 I did this is where i block tho,after installing blender and every plugins required to import or export a nif file when i do try to import it i get an error message saying something like "error pyffi scripts missing" yet i installed them in the proper folder,i checked the error message,went on google to figure out what it meant in the cmd log and after i tought i fixed that i get another error and its starting to feel like the gods of gaming dont want me to succeed ._. lolzTried with blender 2.49,didnt work i then tried a more recent version,2.52.b and thats when i tought i had success till the error message changed for something much more complicated.And as cool as i find blender 2.7 it dosnt have nif compatibilities just yet :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The programs I am using are: Python 2.6.5, Blender 2.49, PYFFI 2.1.5, NifScripts 2.5.5 and NifSkope 1.1.3 and installed in that order. I do not have a problem importing or exporting in Blender. I have overloaded it a few times and had it crash and one time completely crashed my PC, but that was my fault, not the program. Before going too far, you should get some tutorials and read them. Find out all you can, it is very important that these programs are loaded correctly or they will never work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonicPrincess Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Maybe that was my error i had nif already installed before adding blender and the other tools.Ill give it a try thanks for pointing that out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonicPrincess Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) gah and now when i export the result it dosnt even show up properly in geck,its like the whole thing is invisible x.xwell i fixed that only oddity left to figure out is why despite the right bones being in the right places attached to the right spots,the right pauldron still shows up to the left side o.OFinal Edit: yay im all done,for now at least,got the entire thing working and looking half decent(mutant body is huge takes alot of real estate in first person) but haha! Thank you so much for telling me how to install the tools properly <3 Edited May 6, 2014 by DemonicPrincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarchUntoTorment Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just a quick recommendation - see if New Vegas Enhanced Camera works with your mutant body. It's probably the most awesomely immersive mod I've ever found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonicPrincess Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yea i tried it but sadly mutant's body and armors are alot larger than vanilla and they really tend to block the view unless you absolutly wield a big gun like gatling or flamer,the rifle position and one handed places your arms in front of you and their large biceps completly obstruct the view.Its a shame but compromises must be made to enjoy some mods :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
