sarantine Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 What a first post for my new account (the old one died... somehow). Anyway, me being a dunce I can't work out the most simple part of blender - importing a .nif. I am using this tutorial (couldn't get it to link. web address is at the bottom) but when it says to click "File > Import > NetImmerse/Gamebryo" it simply isn't there. I have honestly no idea what I am doing and I thought this would be the best place to ask :P. Thank you to anyone who can tell me how to import stuff. :thanks: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index...er/Custom_Sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armageddon818 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ummm do you have the python and nif scripts for blender? That is one reason that it could be. There are links on the CS wiki to these things at the beginnings of tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarantine Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Following your advice as we speak. Maybe then I can make my horrible looking sword :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarantine Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 That tutorial was baffling. :wallbash:. Could somebody please give me a bit of help? I'm at a loss here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armageddon818 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You are going to need the python and nif scripts from here http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index...er#Installing_2if you didnt already get them. Then you SHOULD be able to go to file>import>nif>and select your fileUmmm idk how to do weapons, i stick to static only because of all the rigging etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarantine Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have downloaded those. Blender is all working fine. My problem now is I have no idea how to use it. That tutorial just confused me I'm afraid. Can anyone recommend something to help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoginToDownload Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Blender 3D: Noob to Pro is a Wikibook that you might find helpful. I got up to Detailing a Simple Person, and it made the program much easier for me to understand. It's sort of complicated, but it explains everything clearly (At least in the introductory parts I read). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickleYield Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I know a fair amount about Blender; but inasmuch as I wrote the confusing tutorial, it's unlikely I would be able to help much. Particularly if you didn't actually read it (since the part that says "you need to download the NIF scripts" is at the very beginning). If you could be specific about what you're having trouble with, I will be happy to try and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarantine Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yeah, the first bit was all my error. Nothing wrong with your tutorial at all. I'm just no good with computer programs more complicated that Microsoft word. Sorry If I caused any offence. Also I'm sure I'll need to take you up on that offer of help some time. On another note, thank you for all the help everyone! I'm sure I shall be plaguing you with my horrible Blender creations in no time! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
