Extracting Scene from Game files?

Hi guys. I am wondering if there is a way to extract a whole scene or instance from Oblivion? I am pretty new to modding, but I have had experience with Maya and Blender. Wanting to see if I can find a way to insert objects into scenes, basic stuff. Any ideas? I have TES Construction Set. Tinkering around with this...

Greetings.

 

From the way you worded you post I assume you are thinking of "scenes" in the context of a 3D modelling program. In which case, the answer is no - there is no equivalent to a "scene" in Oblivion.

 

Content in Oblivion is processed through 3 stages.

 

1. 3D modelling/texturing.

 

2. Nif Creation - this can by simple or complex. For something like a tabled it's as simple as exporting from Blender and checking your export, for something with complex animations like an Oblivion Gate or a drawbridge it takes hours of positioning, animating, node-linking etc.

 

3. Placement in the game world via the CS - this is the physical placement of assets and then the scripting etc. to run animations from the nif.

 

That's an extremely basic explanation - but the point is that what you might do in a "scene" in another game you do in stages 2 and 3 in Oblivion, and it's not always the most logical workflow.
