How do i import NIF files into autodesk 3ds max?

[robertward203]

I'm trying to edit the mesh for chinese stealth armour so i'm trying to open it up in 3ds max. If i just edit an already existing mesh, i won't have to do the whol animation thing will i?

I only plan on adding stuff onto it, like metal plates and whatnot

 

i installed the plugin. "no appropriate import module found" and "improper file format" How do i fix this?

i never done this but, apparently you can use the niftools plugin with 2011. you just have to extract it to the right folder in the 2011 directory instead of where it goes in 2010
