frankdema Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) hi guys, anyone of you have ever rigged bows in blender?i made this thing after i saw a similar bow made by someone (really don't remember the mod) wich had sabrecat heads instead of dragon heads, now i wanted it for my game but with dragon heads so i made it in like 5 or 10 minutes in blender.http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/3805873-1353363570.jpgi need to import the skeleton in blender to rig this thing and since the nifs need a work around to be imported in blender, i really don't know how to do it... i know that i could do that with 3dsmax but unfortunately 3dsmax is way too big to be supported by my laptop tha barely supports blender and sculptris together..... thanks in advance to anyone who will answer :) peace i love you all!

Riprock Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Never done it. But I've done it to many a real life bow It's called "stringing" :) that model is cool by the way, although the string would slip off when in flex Edited November 19, 2012 by Riprock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riprock Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think if you angle the 'tooth' on the lower jaw inwards, it would be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimoa Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I don't know about stringing, but maybe this helps you with rigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1308005User Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 "Sabrecat Gear", that's the mod you are refering to, it has bows with sabrecat heads at the ends. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12583 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
