Custom Clothing; How to Import?

[marthgun]

Hello,

 

I've been making Gintoki's outfit from Gintama, and I've almost got the mesh completed,

I've scoured the interwebs for any type of tutorial on how to import completely custom clothing meshes into the game, I did use the barkeep outfit as a template, which is what I'm going to use in nifskope.

 

but one of the issues I have is that I want a dynamic mesh for the robe, I want it to move when the player walks, blow in the wind, etc.

 

I have no clue how I would do that, its been suggested that I could make an animation for it using the skeleton, but that seems like it would take forever to get all the angles right.

 

Is there any tutorials or help that I could get, youtube and google have yielded very little on this, i think because most custom clothes and armor are edits, and since I'm using cloth modifier in 3ds max, i want to keep it as I export it over, otherwise it won't be right.

 

Any advice is appreciated!

This is the best you can get.

By the way, if you discover how to dynamic mesh, trust me nexus will give you a medal.

ok thanks, i've read and watched all those tutorials, the most important one on the list is the exporting animation to havok, which is a video set to private.

 

from what I gathered so far, i need the havok tools, which are free from havok website. But so far, only a few, very knowledgable people have been successful and they haven't divulged all their secrets.

 

i messed up using barkeep torso_0.nif, because apparently their isn't any vanilla actor that uses that mesh, from what i gathered in the ck. so i'll have to use another model and start over from scratch, :wallbash:
