Deleted76451128User Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Im trying to get into making outfits/armors/etc and i need a few things - one of which is a body to model the mesh onto, i stumbled across this tutorial: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Creating_an_armour_for_Skyrim._Part_1 the tutorial mentions that Blender is unable to accept NIF files without some editing. i went and did what it asked in NIFskope and moved on to importing the NIF file into blender but blender natively lacks a component or functionality with which to import NIF files so i had to get this addon: https://github.com/niftools/blender_niftools_addon the tutorial mentioned something about NIFtools or something but when following those links they seemed outdated as i couldn' obtain anything from them (no files / no plugins / etc) i went to import the file file into blender and it refused to work. am i missing something? is there an actual addon i missed? is there a tutorial that's more updated?

Hanaisse Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The currect niftools addon for Blender does not support Skyrim SE nifs. Works with LE nifs so you can use that then convert your nif back to SE later when it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algabar Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Even in "Oldrim" times, that nif plugin never really worked... Probably the easiest way to import something into Blender is to convert the .nif to .obj.This can be done with the current version of Nifskope or (especially for clothes/armor) in "Outfit Studio". Blender can handle .obj files well.To get the files back into the game again, I'd export from Blender as .obj and then convert back to .nif in Nifskope or Outfit Studio.
