View EffectShaders in CK or NifSkope?

[ZMACHINE00]

Anyone know how to display, preview, or render effects shaders outside of the game?

My mod is almost ready for action, I just need an easy way to get visual feedback on the effectshaders, as seeing updates quickly would make the process 1000x faster.

Cheers!

Have you set resource paths in nifskope correctly?

Yes, I think so. For clarity's sake, here's what I'm doing:

 

I'm trying to add an effect that makes the players and NPCs have an overlay texture like poison damage or vats overlay when an Item is equipped. It works fine, except that when I update this form: http://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=EffectShader, the preview window in that menu does not display anything on top of the models. It also doesn't show anything in the general CK preview window.

 

I can't find a way to view the EffectShader unless I load up FO4. Going back and forth between CK and FO4 to make what I envision one iteration at a time is taking forever.

 

Either this is something people deal with, or there is a better way. I am close to being able to release this mod, but I don't have time to fix the EffectShaders this way, which are crucial to the mod's concept.

 

Also nifskope doesn't seem to load EffectShaders, just meshes and their associated textures + animations.

 

Thanks!
