SSE Please help me Blender it up

[Aridyan]

I'm dying of thirst in an ocean of imported nifs that apparently work for most, but not for myself.

 

I really want to learn how to modify meshes in Blender. I've used Blender before, and am prepared to have some fun with making new hairs, new eyes and even some secret projects to make Argonians a lot cooler. Unfortunately... I can't import a single .Nif!

 

I went through the process of downloading and installing all of the old files as most tutorials asked (ones made back in practically the stone age) but they didn't work out because the original Niftools download page had disappeared. Now, after two days of trying that out and a couple of heat-on-the-brain headaches, I'm attempting to use Blender 2.7+ with the proper .Nif tools added in from Github. My mind is about five seconds from heat death, so I won't explain how many tutorials I went through to figure out how to do that.

 

But I still can't import a thing.

 

Please help, anyone? Here's a screenshot of the error I get when trying to import:

And if I delete the BSLightingShaderProperty:

Hello,

 

Do not use the nif plugin. It barly works.

Use "Bodyslides OutfitStudio" to export OBJ, alter or create meshes in Blender, export as OBJ and import in OutfitStudio.

There should be tutorials about this way.

Thank you for your reply! Are there any drawbacks to using that method? I want to modify a hair mesh and eye meshes, is there anything I need to know regarding that?

Hello,

 

You have to use nifscope to get rid of some things. Unwanted bones i think. I am not that far in meshaltering .... just played a little bit with it.
