dovapix Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi guy's, Currently finishing a partial pine tree replacement mod since the vanilla one look truly bad. What i mean by partial is that i do not want to modify the trunk and branches to retain the working skeleton for animations but i just want to replace the foliage cards distributed around the tree with my custom ones so the pine tree look like a real pine tree and not that weird thing Bethesda made. I have good knowledge of nifskope but i am not familiar with the trees.nif structure and nodes. I found a big tutorial on darkcreations website but the tutorial is very long and it get me confuse since it does not cover what i want to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dovapix Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) There is a tutorial i found here : https://www.darkcreations.org/forums/topic/4249-100-custom-tree-pyandonean-islands-tuto02/?page=1 but it is very confusing specially the part about setting up a BSTreeNode, this is even more complicated when your own bones rig is not similar to the author rig and he doesn't explain how the NiSkinInstance structure should be setup if you have a different rig! I did a heavy Google search on the BSTreeNode structure and nothing came up. Please if there is someone knowing about that Nifskope conversion procedure lay a hand to a fellow modder? PS i am not very rich but i am willing to pay you for some help. Edited March 24, 2017 by dovapix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovapix Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 OK i finally managed to make it work with a completely new custom tree with custom skeleton and the result is amazing!I will make a video tutorial showing the process from start to finish and with the new bones rig the trees look amazing since including some top bones in the BStreeNode make the tree sway realistically like in real life. The process is very short and easy to do in Nifskope, once you have your tree and bones rig ready it take about 5 min to setup each trees. So i think after my video tutorial is done we are going to see a lot more trees variety nicely animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindflux Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The original poster is probably not around anymore to help, but anyone know if they ever posted the video tutorial mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
