manually editing nifs

Well it can be done but is a real time consumer -- The Nif has the vertices all listed by their XYZ coords and you can individually input new XYZ coordinates - so you can move them around that way or delete the vertices but as mentioned it takes awhile to find the correct vertices to move or delete without distorting the rest of the model.

 

Ie. in this Pic of Mehrunes Razor notice the listed vertices for the model and the highlighted Vertex is yellow instead of white - so you just have to go through the list and find the vertices you want to change and edit the coordinates for the vertices to move them.

Holy sh*t thx 've never seen that.

So i want to see a speed-modeling video on youtube that uses this technqiue...adding single vertices and move them into position by changing the XYZ coordinates :biggrin:

Right, it would be time consuming to go through by hand. However, if I could somehow read the nif into a file into my program, I could then find every vert that isn't part of a triangle, and delete it, and then proceed to fix the vert numbering on everything else, and then compare it to a 3DS file (Which has the verts in order), and use that switch all the verts into the right order, and then re-number everything one last time, and then save it
