[LE] Help with Blender?

[Deleted43016095User]

Hi,

 

I've been sort of banging my head on the keyboard for some days now trying to get Blender with .nif support going. I have tried every Nexus download that I can see, and When I've installed the Blender 2.49b packages in order with Python, Pyffi and .niftools I just kept getting "python error check console".

 

I've tried the portable version here after uninstalling Blender and all the plugins and it had the same result. It looked really promising because it was all prepacked but then it came up with python error check console.

 

This tool pack seems cool and obviously works for others, but there is no info on where to actually put the tools he provides https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62065

and the instructions on running them in Command Prompt don't look complete. If I knew where to put the actual tools that are included I could run those commands and find out.

 

The Blender Tutorial link on this forum seems to be a dead link.

 

Would anyone be willing to point me to what worked for them, and possibly just tell me exactly where to put the pyffi and blender .nif tools files that don't seem to have an installer?

 

If there is some tutorial link that describes in detail where to actually put every plugin and script I'd appreciate a link. I've been trying to get through this part myself for many hours now on my own and somehow I'm just not getting it.

 

I just want the end goal of being able to do this with all of my followers before releasing them. I know that also requires learning how to use Blender, but I need .nif support so I can do more tutorials. I've done 3D modeling in other programs, and do not feel I'd have much trouble getting used to Blender.

 

Any sort of info that might help would be appreciated, like current files/complete instructions, where I failed to read, anything. Thank you.

Simple solution is to use Outfit Studio as your intermediate step and work with .obj files instead = .nif --> .obj --> .nif. Outfit Studio has all the tools built in to create working .nif files. Nifskope is also recommended to ensure proper .nif structuring and also ensure that things like materials and NiNodes are set up correctly.

Thanks for your input! I'll give it a shot. I'm pretty good with Outfit Studio so will try doing a head with that process.
