You'll notice we now have two 1stPersonSteelSword:0 nodes, now the reason for this is simple, we can use the original model as a reference for scale and position so we can get ours set up right. Next click the root node again and select Block>Paste Branch.
Right-Click the node and select Block>Copy Branch.
Next click on the 1stPersonSteelSword:0 node, this is the weapon model. Here comes the fun bit, click the little arrow icon next to the root node ( 1stPersonSteelSword), this will expand the tree so we can see what's there. Once the NIF is open you should see something like this:ĭon't worry if it's not exactly the same, some things might be a little different depending on the NIF you decided to use. Now if you're using a different weapon, say a Mace for example, be sure to open the same vanilla NIF, don't worry all the steps here will still apply. Open up Nifskope (RC5 +) and load up the 1stpersonsteelsword.nif, this will be the NIF we'll use. That is all our preparation work done, now we can jump into Nifskope and get to work making our model. We'll use one of these NIFs as the base for our own. With that done navigate through the BSA and find then extract the Steel weapons. Start up your BSA Tool of choice and open the Skyrim - Meshes.bsa file. What we need is a vanilla model, in this case a vanilla weapon model we can edit to make our own model work in-game. There is one last thing we need which I'll cover in more detail in the next step. So with all that done we have our 3DS file, our textures in place and the latest version of Nifskope that supports Skyrim. With that done the next thing to do is put all your textures for your chosen weapon into your Skyrim texture folder, you can do this later if you wish, but it's always a good idea to set things up first, just makes it easier. Smarty Says: If you have a scabbard too, you'll need to select each node and export separately. Now before we start there are two things you need to do, first is to either export your model from your 3D application of choice as an 3DS file or open your NIF file, then go File>Export>Export.
Thanks to the hard work of the Niftools team and modders helping we have a version of Nifksope that will allow us to get our models into the game by editing a vanilla model.įor this tutorial I'm going tobe using the Ayleid Longsword from The Arsenal, but you can use any weapon you like for this. You'd think getting models into Skyrim would be impossible at the moment, well that's not quite true.
