MrAA Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Alright, hello mates,I created some original meshes and textures. I have everything in blender file format (.blend). I am using Blender 2.49, 2.72 and 2.8 and I installed nif plugin. But when I try to export my model from Blender, a small file xxx.nif is generated and model is not exported at all. I have tried to export from 3ds and other file format files but nothing works. Export to nif creates only this small .nif file. No errors etc. It seems that export was successful but it was not. :( I will provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance. Could you help me?

MrAA Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I mean export from Blender to nif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaisse Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 For which game? (This question would be best asked in the game related forum) I'll assume Skyrim as there's no Blender exporter for Fallout. Curious why you're using 3 different versions of Blender. In 2.49 you need to follow Oblivion export process and convert in Nifskope. In 2.72 and 2.8 you can export as Skyrim. What is produced in the nif file you do get?

MrAA Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I messed this post a little bit up. I created some models in Blender 2.72 and some in the latest one. I have not managed to install nifskope plugin for 2.8. therefore I use the older versions. Skyrim Special Edition After exporting from Blender a small file called something.nif is created. When I open this file in nifskope, nothing is inside, no meshes etc. This file is very small, around 1kb or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaisse Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Ok, stick with 2.72 it'll probably be easiest for you. Blender 2.8 has a few issues with the plugin right now anyway. Make sure you're following the proper export process. Here's a good guide. Also understand there is no direct export from Blender to Skyrim Special Edition, it's an export to original Skyrim and you'll need to convert once it's a proper nif with another tool like Nif Optimizer.

Perraine Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Simplest way is to simply export the file as an .obj file, then use Outfit Studio to convert it to a .nif file. No need to worry about Blender versions or plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAA Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 But I have created animals with animations. Will they be in my files if I use outfit studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaisse Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 .....animals with animations.The Blender nif plugin for 2.7x versions does not support export of animations so that's probably your issue right there. AFAIK you'll need a 3DS Max flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAA Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Can I recreate animations in nifskope? I use only basic animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
