Adding a Visor to the iron helmet mesh

[ElderScrollsFan001]

I was looking at the shape of the iron helmet after i mage a mode to make it loo more steel like and i noticed it is also same shape as the helmet i use while larping just with out the visors

 

so my question is it possible to add a visor to the irom helmet mesh?

Have a look at what Phitt and Bande did with a steel helmet here and here. If this visor is close enough, you should be able to just copy and paste the block for the visor in NifSkope and retexture it to your liking. (If you plan to release it, get permission first of course.)

 

If you want to create a new visor, you'll need Blender/3DSMax which basically I know nothing about. But from what I heard, the head is the easiest armour piece to rig, so a helmet might be a good starting project. :)

indeed i was actually going to use iron helmet as practice .......... i have a pattern for the visor that i made with poster board that i can scan I hope that might make easier though like you to programs are Greek to me

 

i basically have started messing with the iron helmet here's a pic of it I recolored and textured to look more "steel like"..but it could be better

so far so good but i can seem to covert it into NIf file i have all the proper plug-n have have tested it with other things and it work good

 

when i try it tells me that i need to set the uv in the the material box or delete it is so i tried both which then it told me something about the bones but i can recall atm. i know the bone are done something odd for the visro but i boggling to me atm. if someone can, can you look at the blender file and tell what i doing wrong
