sidious999 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 All i want to do is to create a GREY gandalf the grey hat. I know there is already a mod for wizard hats but the hair on those do not match up with what i want. The hats are also not the right shape for me. Im kinda picky lol. Anyways, i would like to know where to start on how to make my own .nif file to be his hat. I can 3d model very easily and all i need is maybe a program. Please help me out.

Tchos Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Have you tried Pale Rider's Hat Collection? It has a hat called "Gandalf". Here's a pic:http://tesnexus.com/downloads/images/11014-1-1195167675.jpgAnd the modhttp://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The easiest free program for what you want is Blender. Available here: http://www.blender.org/ There are also some tutorials there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 i tried that and the gandalf hat is too big, is there a way to modify that or back to my original question , how to make my own mesh 3d model "The hat is too big"? Can I see a picture of exactly what You're looking for please? I might be able to help you. By the way, most hats sit on top of the hair, so don't change the hairdo at all.

sidious999 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 alright, im almost to where i want to be, i used 3ds max, to modify the gandalf hat that was in pale riders mod. i got to this stage where my model in obilvion is pink. when i open it up in 3ds max it shows its all rendered and everthing. also i cant seem to be able to obtain that hat, i go up to it in oblivion and the pink hat just sits there, im not able to pick it up. ANY ADVICE? check it out: <a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l198/Sidious_999/?action=view¤t=5151.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l198/Sidious_999/5151.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> .http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l198/Sidious_999/5151.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrmaad Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 anyone know anything? You didn't give it a texture and you used the "ground" or "world" model to create it, thus your hat doesn't have collision to sit on your character's head. If you have nifskope you can try copying the collision for the actual head model in Pale Rider's collection to your model, but remember to keep a copy of the one without collision so that you also have a ground model, or else it will suck because you won't be able to lay it down in the world. While you're in nifskope add the texture paths to your gray textures, don't forget to add a normal map, or things will not go well. The hat looks like I thought it might and turned out pretty well, I would have used blender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious999 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 can you please tell me how to do this. you seem you know what you are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 can you please tell me how to do this. you seem you know what you are talking about I'll tell you but only if you promise to give me the hat. Do you have nifskope? In Nifskope: Go open the two gandalf hats (not yours, the ones made by Pale Rider, There Will Be Two.) Waiting for promise of hat.
