blender can't load Nif files...

[igora]

hello everyone !

 

i wanted to make a new armor to replace the arch-mage one, so i went here :

 

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30

 

followed every step and blender still can't open Nif files !

 

i also noticed that

1) when i don't install the NIF Scripts, blender doesn't see the NiF files

2) but when i install the NIF Scripts, blender does see the NiF files but can't open them ...

3) when i install the NIF Scripts, and i go in the " blender foundation file -> blender -> .blender -> Scripts -> import or export"

i have "import_nif" and " export_nif"

 

trying to open the female body found here :

i have a windows 7 ultimate on a 64-bit operating system.

 

how come blender can't open NiF files ?

Blender can't open Skyrim nifs, only 3DS Max is capable of opening them without playing around NifSkope before importing (which I still don't know how to do, I don''t play around with Skyrim models, I only make new ones).

ahh.. so if i want to make an armor i have to buy 3DS Max ?

 

i wanted to use the arch-mage armor because no NPC ( i though it was easier to change an already existing armor

than to make a new one from scratch )

 

 

tho since i can't open the female body ( with blender ) , how can i find the right size for the new armor ?

 

make one with blender , open the female body with Nifskope and add on top of the female body my armor and try to re-size it?

ok never mind, got it to work !

 

thanks coldarra !!
