Fallout Modelling - Mini Tutorial

Recommended Posts

dunno where you change the name lol... my sub is called megaton commoner house lol... but you cant see that ingame anyway... (asked that myself but i can only change the index number never the name )

 

adding more blocks i just do by copying a branch and pasting it again... then you have two strips or shapes you can replace...

 

i only use one object per texture tho...

 

----------

 

dunno waht you wanna say bout diffuse maps... it actually doesnt matter what kind of material you choose in max... after export the nif will be materialless... only using niftools3.1 will keep the textures for fallout from max but then you cant use the meshes... thus you rather get a blank mesh using niftools 3.0 and then changing the texes in nifskope...

just split your mesh into dufferent object in max... will still be one nif but also have many strips

---------------------

 

the error you got came from your model and somin is wrong, i just dont know what

 

just make sure you export models with niftools exporter 3.0

import models with niftools exporter 3.1

and export collisions with niftools exporter 3.1

if you have two meshes in max and export that to nifskope (using niftools >3.0< not 3.1!!!!! sigh lol)

you end up with 1 ninode-> 2x nitristrip-> 1x nistripdata each

then you set the tspaceflags of each data to 16, update the arrays and copy paste the datas over...

update tangents space, change texture and done

Duno if its been mentioned or not, too many pages to read, but I dont have any "Paste Over" option when trying to paste the parts from my nif. What am I supposed to do?

 

And yes i am using the latest nifskope. I keep everything up to date.

 

Also, perhaps a new host for the images? Im lost with all the text and would really like to see the images.

@as to screenshots

i think LH wanted to make an article with the pics on a diff server? didnt he do yet?

 

the paste over function only works for single nodes not branches

must be the same type of node aka a nitrishape wont be copyable over a nitristrip

i got no prob copying 1 mesh to 1 mesh, like nitridata to nitridata, but if my mesh from 3dmax

got more then 1 i can`t seem to copy it over, i might be making it wrong, still can`t do it and i got a nice 56 chev , as in the fallout games, it got a lots of nistridata
