STSG Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Premitting i'm very new to editing meshes: how to attach 2 vertices (or edges) together in a nif file? I have googled lots of tutorials and tried various things in 3ds max but when exporting as nif it breaks again :facepalm: The only thing that worked was to add an edit poly modifier and use the bridge option but that destroyed the mesh shape badly. Sad panda needs help :( Edited December 27, 2011 by STSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniczombie Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 If you edit a mesh in a 3d modeling program such as 3ds max or maya, the skin and BSDismember Modifiers must be remade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STSG Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Could somebody post a "step by step merging 2 vertices guide for idiots"? I was able to only generate more lose edges :wallbash: I should try splitting I guess. Maybe that will merge them. :psyduck: Edited December 27, 2011 by STSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniczombie Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Maybe try the help files on 3ds max? Not really the right forum for how to use 3ds max. for merging verts though you'll want to use the wield tool with select vertices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STSG Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I tried that and inside max itself it works. But when I export it to nif it's broken again. None of the tutorials I was able to find dealed with what you might need to do to keep that change, they just say (in basic words) to select the verticles and press some button (weld, compress, etc), nothing more. :confused: Edited December 27, 2011 by STSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STSG Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks but I have already checked those. Seems the issue is in the fact there is a small hard edge there which makes the nif split when exporting. I'll smooth it if i figure out how to do so without destroying the rest of the mesh. EDIT: the default smoothing seems to work fine, guess issue solved :D Time for a new thread about vertices >< Thanks for trying to help maniczombie :) Edited December 28, 2011 by STSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
