Help with Mod

[vindicatorkiddchaos]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a little help. I'm still new to modding so please bear with me. I have a piece of armor that I retextured. I am simply looking to take the sleeves off the armor to complete. Can someone please walk me through it and let me know what programs I may need?

Thanks all.

In most cases you'll need 3ds max or blender, and nifskope.

3ds max:

Import nif

Make a copy of the mesh

Delete "skin" and "bsdismemberskin" modifiers from stack

Select triangles to remove and delete

From the mesh copy you made, select the "skin" and copy/paste it to the new mesh

Make a new "bsdismemberskin"

Export and verify in nifskope

 

In some cases if the arms under the sleeves have not been clipped you can make an alpha in nifskope and in photoshop you can paint the alpha channel black where you want to be invisible.

 

If it's a small file, I think the limit is 250k, you can upload it here and I can do it for you.

Thank you so much. It’s basically a retex I did for the ADAM - A Definitive Armor Mod by EmeraldReign Weijiesen and VT08. I just took some Textures from the other files. I just couldn’t get the no sleeveless mesh I was going for. I really appreciate the help. It won’t let me upload the file. Can I perhaps email it to you?

Thanks
