− | + | This tutorial will cover the basics of exporting statics from Blender 2.7+ to a Skyrim .nif as well as explain what does what when it comes to exporting. Depending on how you work, you may find this easier than the old ‘exporting via 2.49b’ method. This method may take a little more work to get set up, but once it is you can export directly to Skyrim with as little messing around in NifSkope as possible. This allows you to quickly test small changes to your static models with little hassle. It will be assumed that you have a basic knowledge of Blender, and this tutorial will only be covering the Blender to .nif exporting for static models with collisions. This tutorial will not be covering loading these models/placing them into the Creation Kit, nor any modelling techniques. The Blender Nif Plugin can also not work with SSE NIFs, so to import/export those, you need to also use [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4089 SSE NIF Optimizer], which can convert between the two formats. | |

− | Now we can save that, close down NifSkope and open up NifUtilSuite! | + | Now we can save that, close down NifSkope and open up NifUtilSuite! This is the part that takes all of the geometry data from our .nif file and turns it into a collision. This part is pretty straightforward. Your target file is the file your original .nif file you exported first, the one that still has your BSLightingShaderProperty branch in it. Your collision file is the one you just edited and removed the BSLightingShaderProperty from. Your collision source should be either Collision fallback Mesh or just simply Mesh, because we are using the mesh to determine where the collisions are. Your collision materials will be different for every object, so you will need to select Name of NiTriShape for your Collision Materials. This way if you have different types of geometry on your model (wood and stone) they can be separated. Your settings should look a bit like this. |
