someoneyouknow Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Alright, so I'm trying to get a model I made (In Blender) into Fallout 4. I know what to do on the Creation Kit end and also know how to make 3D models. I've followed several tutorials but haven't had any luck when trying to convert a .OBJ to a .NIF. The .NIF exporter plugin for Blender doesn't seem to work and hasn't been updated for some time. Every time I try to use the latest version, it just locks up. I have also heard that some users have used Outfit Studio to convert the models. I have tried this too, and it just crashes Outfit Studio.I know it must be possible to do as people are adding custom models to the game, so... What am I doing wrong? Before you start giving suggestions down that line, I do not own 3DS MAX, am not a student, can not afford it, and am not a pirate. Thanks. :smile: Edited November 8, 2016 by someoneyouknow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted15964729User Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Have you tried running it through Elrich (which comes with the Creation Kit)? Aside from 3Ds Max and what you've tried there doesn't seem to be any more options, although you can most likely get help to get it working from someone who has done it successfully.

xNxmod Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I use the 2.77a version of blender and export as obj and convert it in outfit studio (not bodyslide).I do not use 2.49b blender.One question, are you exporting a weapon or a armor? Because armor needs weight before you export them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look for that. EDIT: This doesn't seem to do anything more than clean up models. "Elric's sole purpose is to convert nifs created by the exporter into something better optimized and/or correct for the game to use (and also handling format updates so we don't have to re-export every single asset every time we change the nif format).

Deleted15964729User Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Well yeah, but you can use it for more than that. What they mean is don't expect any support if you break something. Besides, it may be useful in your case either way. Also try converting it in Noesishttp://richwhitehouse.com/index.php?content=inc_projects.php#prjmp91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xNxmod Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Im trying to figure out what its not working... For example if i take a simple vanilla blender cube (also without texture) export it as .obj and put it in outfit studio i can still use outfit studio to convert as .nif (and the model has no texture).I think that its not working for you probably because 1) You do not have third party programs like net framework2)Your model is builded up as a plane and not as a cube or is corrupted3)Or outfit studio or blender is corrupted.4) You are using a blender 2.68b or 2.49b Try to export and convert a simple cube, and if it works the problem is your model and not a program.
