Blender to FO3 AGAIN.

[tw33z7]

I forgot to give kudos Quetzlsacatanango. :)

 

Thanks for your help. I was pretty sure that I'm a semi-retard till yesterday...

 

Anyway,

this: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=963 tutorial i found very useful

and this one: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6107

 

Have in mind that I started with blender 10 days ago meaning i'm a noob and I figured it out.

Just stick with the software versions in the link I posted earlier.

Yesterday, I combined Grifters fit jacket and arms, Waldo pants and wasteland wanderer boots just to crank up the possibilities (various meshes, indexes strip/shape data and multiple texture files ). and with a bit of basic modeling, it worked fine.

I didnt even make a mod (just overwritten the grifters fit nif with mine - like it is a replacer). And in the blender import panel I set texture search paths to none (i'll post the import/export screens soon).

I will try to assign retextured dds files in nifskope these days.

Oh, and I exported my nif in the Pose mode with skeleton selected . After I did some testing of bones of course.

If its of any importance I didnt use the default skeleton but used the one from the Grifters fit (that was the first nif i imported in the process with the meshes)

Again, everything of course was done according to Quetzlsacatanango.

 

Thnx a lot Dude!

I was about to come in here and say sorry it didn't work. I should have known better of course :smile:

 

You've lost me completely what didn't work? Are we talking about those versions of blender etc of the file i sent. :)

Just incase iv'e forgot something i don't suppose you could write a basic step by step of what you did from importing through to exporting please. I just realised its not the blender nif versions etc as i did play around with a few weapons awhile back adding scopes etc from one to another and they all turned out fine ingame. But theres alot more involved with clothing etc and im sure its something simple that i'm missing :(.

[tw33z7]

ok, man np.

I'll post a step-by-step tutorial for you with screenshots on this thread soon.

hang in there ;)

Hey,

here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/kdnjrzquigw/clothing%20Blender%20tutorial.rar

is the step-by-step I made for you as you required. Hope this helps. If you find this usefull, share this with whoever you like.

Good luck! :)

[j4y1981]

Well i did everything it said in the tutorial which was pretty much what i was doing anyway and still it shows up invisible ingame so I'm at a loss tbh.

 

On a side note i accidently changed the scale settings when i import, does this make any difference and what is the normal settings as its on 1.0 atm.

[tw33z7]

Well,

do you mean the scale correction? I think it has to be 100.00

basically I did everything like the other tutorials on this thread suggested (with the import/export settings, I mean).

I still think your main problems are software versions.

 

Maybe the newer versions are ok for working with weapons and stuff but clothing/armor are far more complicated objects to be tampered with.

I was doing everything over and over and I had the same problem untill I installed the software from the FO3Nexus. Installation of those five programs is like 10 mins or so... give it a try.

Just uninstall your existing Blender/nifscripts/python etc and start with the fresh clean install.

 

I'm 100% sure it will work. Good luck!

I did install the said software versions a few days back but then for some reason it wouldnt export anything :S. Mind you it was a rush job so I'll trya again tonight as now of to work :(.

I think if you want to make a cloth that will show part of skin, you will need to import skin too, then export the cloth with the skin you ues or part of it (that you want it to show in game) and without the head and hands, when export ,set the cloth piece mesh "defult shade" and skin piece "skin shade" , or set it in nifspoke
