Getting started to modding tutorials?

[wrogirzymian]

First of all I am aware of the Skyrim Tutorials thread but they are too advanced for me.

I am an architecture student.

I can model in 3dsmax, i can uv map and i can texture but I have no idea how to approach let's say making an armor or item for skyrim.

how do I 'stick' the armor to character mesh or even import it from skyrim to max.

 

I imagine it can't be too hard because the modelling and texturing part is obviously the most time consuming but i don;t even know where to start.

Any help?

For NifSkope preparation and CK import you can check out part 3+4 of my signature tutorial.

Attaching armor to bones and set it up correctly, as usual, you might check out these clips:

 

 

...and check out his channel, there are some useful videos as well.

Actually, the modeling and texturing are neither the easiest nor the most time consuming part, at least the first time. You'll probably find it'll take you a lot of experimenting to get your model to work for the first time, but every time you do it it'll get easier and faster.
