Rigging is the action of linking verticles to bones. So when you rig an arm, you select all the upper arm verticles and you link it to the upper arm bone of the armature.

i needed to do a simple "rig" on a shoulder strap (or create a new one ), so i did some searching as advised by Chugginator and SUCCESS!!! . i took some screenies of the process and will post a tutorial, hopefully tonight, when I get back from work!

My tutorial is up. It's really confusing and you'll have to look in 2 of my other tutorials there for little things at the end. But it is good IMO, it has all the important info. For the most part.

I'm going through this tutorial getting things done in nifskope. the problem i'm having when I do the trishape is that since I have charlemagenes head and bones and lincoln's suit that they are not exactly matching up.

When I edit trishapes how do i associate the suit as a trishape although the original leaderhead didn't split them out?

second thing, since my newleaderhead already has teeth and stuff should I just edit the old leaderhead teeth's trishapes with the new leaderheads teeth?

thx

On the tutorial...

You lost me on the second step. I went down to Import, but I didn't see a NetImmerse/Gambryo option. Did I do something wrong?

 

[Ekmek]

you need to install the python script i think there is a link at the beginig of the tutorial

 

[Dealer Camel]

I've done that, now what?

 

[dutchking]

Did you install the scripts correctly? The option should be there. Just use the .exe.

 

[Dealer Camel]

...I'm as confused as hell.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Wrong folder ?

 

[Dealer Camel]

Well... which folder should it be in?

 

[dutchking]

Just run the installer niftools gives you. (.exe)

 

[Dealer Camel]

I did... still not working.

My computer's probably just deciding to torture me.

 

[dutchking]

Do you have the correct version of Blender that will work with the scripts you downloaded?

 

[Dealer Camel]

I have Blender 2.45 and Wavefront OBJ Importer/Exporter.

Does that work?

 

[dutchking]

ermm...what?
You need blender and the NIF scripts. google "niftools" and follow the links on the front page for blender nif scripts.

...I am coming extremely close to throwing my computer out the nearest window. It's still not working.

So far I've downloaded Blender, NifSkope, PyFFI.NIF, and 3dsMax. Is there anything that I am missing?

 

[dutchking]

You don't need 3Ds. And also you need python.

 

[Dealer Camel]

Yeah. I do.

The only Script Config Editor that's showing up is General. There's no NetImmerse/Gamebryo.
