how to add bb animation to upperbody.nif?

[Nadimos]

hi,

 

i was not able to find any bb base hd or cali upperbody.nif variants, so i started on it myself and copied over the breast bones in nifskope,

but now the body mesh still needs to be parented to the new bones in blender or something like that, correct?

 

how do you do that exactly?

ctrl+p amatur, name groups, export and done?

cause if im doing it like that, strangely there wont be any breast bones left anymore after export.

 

if i move the breast bones in pose mod, nothing happens to the body.

It's not THAT easy, but not hard either. :thumbsup:

 

For BBB you need to do a weight painting (aka rigging) of the mesh, so that each face of the mesh knows which breast bone it has to follow, and how much. There are 2 great tutorials:

- Coronerra's Better Bouncing Boobs Weighting Tutorial, if you do it from scratch

- Saaya's BBB Armor Weighting Tutorial
