Help with modding...I want to make things!

[vaiguy1]

Hi,

 

I love NV as well as FO3. I have played both games, downloaded a TON of mods but the one thing I want to do now is to make my own mods. I can do 3D very well and I want to make things for the game that I want like BOOK OF ELI stuff. I found his big knife here but I want to go all out and do everything like his shirt, jacket, backpack, glasses. You know, the whole nine yards.

 

Now, I can make or retex things in 3D Max or Maya with no prob but I dont know how to get it in the game. Where does one learn such things?

 

Thank you for your time and help...

if you can do the 3D models, that is only a third of the way (well, a quarter really, but the GECK part is quite small)

 

after you have done the model, you need to create the textures, and then convert the model into a NIF file, and then fit the item on NifSkope

after you have finished it all, and you have the NIF model and the textures ready, then you need to create the item in the GECK

 

so search around for tutorials on NifSkope (if you want to do all this yourself) and texture making (if you don't know how to do it)

as for the GECK part, this is the easiest part in the process, so you should really have no problems with that part (and you can easily get help with using the GECK)

 

sorry i can't link you to tutorials, but i don't know of any (didn't really search for any, as i can't really model.......)

 

good luck to you :)
