what tools to make my own mods

[Hodni]

hai sup all

I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I was wondering what programs i could use to make my own mods for New Vegas? Say, stuff like my own armor, clothing, weapon meshes etc etc? I'm not new to adding/editing existing mods to a game, I have little experience with scripting and some basic skills to making meshes.. but I just wanna start making my own xD or at least try..

 

atm i have the GECK for new vegas. I think i still have my old studio 3dmax disc around, i even have a more minor 3d program called metasoquia somewhere in my files

 

any help, suggestions, links to a tutorial, or anything would be greatly appreciated :D Thanks

well, it was asked many times before, but answering this again shouldn't be a problem

 

for making meshes, you need a program like 3D Max, Blender or something like that

for textures, you need Photoshop or GIMP or Paint.net, or something like that

after you have both the meshes and textures, you need NifSkope to combine them into something the game can read

of course, you will need some specific Nif tools for the ability to convert the specific files to the correct extensions (just google Nif tools for the program you choose to use)

 

and after all of this is done, it is time to sit back, make the items in the GECK, and enjoy :biggrin:
