3Ds max 9 .NIF export problem

[Exodus1161]

Ive edited some armor to try and resemble Arthas's Armor from warcraft 3, when i try to export it as a .NIF i get the error

 

"You must specify at least one bone node"

 

im fairly new to 3Ds max and have no idea what I'm meant to do to fix this

 

sorry of this is a really stupid question

You would do better to post your problem in the 3DS Max forum.

Ok i had the same problem too and managed to fix the problem turning it into an editable mesh before exporting and it worked. :)

Select the object, right click, Convert to, Convert to editable mesh, try export again.

Doesn't work for me.

it mean it got no bones attached to it....try to use wrap skin modifier from another armor that have all the body parts that you need...

This is the real reason and fix for this Nifskope error, you have one mesh missing skin on it.

 

I was exporting a tree and my trunk was missing the skin modifier on it and once i skin the trunk i could export perfectly.

 

Hope this help others with these pesky export errors.
