Hotemochick1992 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 So i have installed all of the programs but for some reason I cannot import .nif files into blender, I don't think I am missing anything but I am probably wrong. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iClustaFlux Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) To import .nif files you will need to have blender 2.49 installed, with the NifScripts plugin. In order to use the plugin, you need to use NifSkope to clean up some items in the .nif file and then export it to a new file, before importing to blender. see: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15690 Edited March 17, 2013 by iClustaFlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have Blender 2.49 installed. I have been following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-FfbwF08Iw as my tutorial. I got to the part to import the file but my import plugin isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iClustaFlux Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) To make sure you can use the NifScripts plugin properly... Use the 32bit version of blenderMake sure blender 2.49 uses the application install directory to look for pluginsunzip nifscripts into the \.blender\ subdirectory of your blender installation (should be somewhere like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Blender Foundation\Blender249b\.blender\scripts )If you have the nifscripts installer (.exe) it will also use the \.blender\ subdirectory. IF you are not sure where your installation looks for plugins, just un-install it and re-install telling it to use its own directory.

Hotemochick1992 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ok, I decided to uninstall everything and reinstall everything as per your tutorial. When installing the PyFF, I get an error saying Blender has no Scripts folder and asks me if i want to reinstall Blender. Which i don't really understand.

iClustaFlux Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) You definitely set it to use the installation directory for scripts? And not the App. Data directory? You get 3 options: Use the application Data directory (requires windows 2000 or better)Use the Installation directory (ie. location chosen to install blender.exe)I have defined a %HOME% variable, please install files here.If you correctly set it, then i can only assume that it's something to do with your privileges on the computer..?
