Editing armor for the vanilla body?

la6213 · January 8, 2013

I'm new to modding and have just followed through Nightasy's Creating Armor Tutorial on Youtube.

(which is completely awesome, especially for a mod newb like me)

However, I notice he used UNP body throughout.

And when I'm trying to edit and change some of the armor (with vanilla body),

many body parts are missing (he mentioned this on the tutorial but I'm not sure if there is a fix)

For example, I'm trying to delete the entire torso section of the steel armor,

but the vanilla body doesn't even have chest, thus leaving empty spaces in 3ds max.

So how do you mod vanilla armor?

Do you have to create a body mod with naked vanilla body (excluding the underpant) then import it?

\meshes\actors\character\character assets\femalebodyastrid.nif

use that, with the BSShaderProperty from the "normal" body.

Thanks, you saved half of my progress :biggrin:

May I ask is there also one for male?

I couldn't find something like malebodyastrid.

Edit:

Nevermind, I found a pretty good resource on skyrim nexus
