MacGrioghair Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Since there were no Great Kilts I could find, I started my own little project. It's been quite the learning curve, but I've pretty much got the basics done (cobbled together from a few different mods)...except for one detail. For the shoulder kilt "tail" I'm using a Ranger hood with everything else removed. It's on the wrong shoulder, which I knew, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to flip it. I've read quite a few posts, but I couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. The back:https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932519024768/F8EE6CE44AFB9E6B0EFF64AA8816C3141B34608E/The front (Angled so you can see where the scarf is):https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932519022290/75A033CE3117C6D8DF9C687934C66FD013D4D127/ Now, just poking around in Nifskope, I think I found my answer, but I want to see if I'm on the right track first. It looks like I can just flip all of the verticies X axis coordinates, then flip the DDS to match. Am I over simplifying? I'm a complete novice at modding and any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGrioghair Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Update: Swapping the X-axis DID swap the position, not DDS editing required. It did, however, swap the front and back. I'm going to try and reverse the Z-axis pairs and see if that rectifies the orientation. Also, it looks like I may need to attach to a different skeleton point? Ah, the joys of learning something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGrioghair Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Well...I read many posts, downloaded blender and tried flipping in it, with various degrees of failure. I'm not the only one to run across this issue, but I couldn't find an actual solution. The mirror modifier in Blender had the side affect of messing up the dismemberskininstance, and I'm not knowledgeable yet to fix it. I wanted to update, so anyone searching for a solution would at least find a definitive resolution, even if it wasn't the desired one. After spending far too much time trying to fix the mirror issue (It seemed such an easy task!!!) I came up with a far easier solution: hack up a cloak! So, now I have my Great Kilt. Besides texture cleanup and working on pleats (at least the illusion of pleats), I'm satisfied with the end result. Back, Kilt only:https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932527548229/26BC630D5389FB95034A9520005E8F8C3705F881/Back with full loadout:https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932527549694/9F07269F8F8DFC6272DAAB5A09A49886360A36CC/Front, Kilt only:https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932527552144/4AFE5D61C6C6C16747D9633AC6AD68570DC5E112/Front with full loadout:https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932527553992/AD5A6E6B9BD13FE67D437F8865B20297AAAD822D/ That was certainly a learning experience!

MacGrioghair Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Last update. This is as good as I can do at the moment with my limited skill set. All in all, I don't think it's too bad for a complete beginner, :laugh:I updated the tartan: And pleats!!!! (Well, good enough for me)https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932528194259/2427207D45E5D8F42E2BC850BFD6E07E253FB7E5/and to finish it off, a wee sporranhttps://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923673932528103825/01C454480B75226D971E0CF1B42BA944A45CCB47/ Honestly, in game it's pretty cool. That was quite the adventure! Now I get to run around in my new Great Kilt :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
