Thanks. Does that animation work as is in Skyrim, or did you have to edit it in NifSkope in any way?

 

Also, I see you're using a new skeleton. Does this approach preserve the bone order (so that it's usable by an existing skeleton,hkx) if you're only editing a pre-existing animation and not creating a new skeleton?

u can take whatever skeleton u wanna animate, bethsedas own skeleton aswell, this is just a modified version of it with extra bones.

ive putted a description and the video on the download link on nexusfiles.

 

i just simplyfied this steps abit by taking the scene in max instead of external file

 

and yeah it should preserve boneorder since nothing else was changed.

 

based on what u need if u need skeleton just delete export animation in havok export
