Texturing in Nifskope

[GOOGLEPOX]

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to texture a new model somone gave me in Nifskope. I changed the properties so that the NiTextures and Materials match that of an already made .nif, and it still is just white. or whatever color the material is. the textures wont show up. Is that due to the lack of a UV map?

i tried making a UV map, but in the end it just is a million little triangles that I cannot possibly hope to texture.

Thank you for any help.

Sounds like something you'd be better doing in blender instead. It depends on the complexity of the model, but I could do a simple unwrap so you could texture it. If it's more complex it'll be best to do all in blender. If you would like to do that yourself then you'd have to follow the blender basic modeling/basic controlshere to learn about the keys. Then this one to apply textures.

Its a very complex model with many curves and triangle and squares and such. :P I know how to unwrap it, i just dont know how to simplify the UV map so its not so many shapes.
