Importing Fallout 4 nifs into 3DS Max

[UNSCSpartin]

Hey all

 

So recently i been trying to import fallout 4 nifs into 3ds max, but I am getting an error that says "String too long. Not a NIF file or supported format?". I am currently using 3D Studio Max 2010 64bit. I never had an issue with this when it comes to models from skyrim. Does nif tools not support Fallout 4? Or do i need an updated version of the 3DSMax 2010 64bit tools? If so i couldnt find any downloads for 3DS max what so ever on the nif tools source forge page.

 

Thanks all

Following. I too am unable to import or even export .nif files

Export as a obj from nif then import to max, it will export the whole scene as a obj cause it doesnt recognize the new bstrishape thingys

 

Works fine for me :P

Sorry if this is a bone head question, but how are you exporting from Nifskope? It is refusing to even open the Fallout 4 nifs.

DDproductions, any particular settings when exporting/reimporting into/out of nifskope?

[DDProductions83]

Not that I know of

[TroJanViru5]

So you export an .obj, open it up in blender/3ds max, change it as much as you want, export that again as an .obj and import it back into the same file in nifskope?

Oh I have no bloody clue how to get it back IN to nifscope correctly.

 

I know someone is working on a max plugin so I will patiently await that

[TroJanViru5]

Oh I see.

 

People are already successfully remodelling so it is possible right now there's just a lack of info on what config is needed
