Custom Weapon Creation

[Mehridian]

Salutations Modders,

 

I am sorry to ask here and maybe I am out of my league in know-how. I am trying to get into modding as it looks like a ton of fun. I have already downloaded tools to help me with this.

These being.

 

Blender

FNV G.E.C.K

Nifskope

 

I have been reading posts for about an hour and fiddling with the programs without saving anything. Usually these are enough to get me going in any chosen field of endeavor. I was reading a post that the most painless way to create a custom weapon in this game is to export the mesh from the BSA, put it in blender and edit it, then return it as a new mesh to the game for G.E.C.K editing.

 

I have been searching the web for some time and cannot seem to find a comprehensive tutorial on how to do this. Does anyone have a place to point me to? Are there any points that I should be aware of? anything would be helpful.

 

Thanks in advance.

Bump ... Just a smidgen of info will be helpful.

While I know nothing of texturing or meshing, I DO know that you can go ahead and make your custom weapons, and add the meshes and textures at a later date. I have an article posted on how to create items and weapons, but if you need help, or if you think something isn't clear, please message me, and I'll see if I can help.
