For the longest time

I've wanted to convert the lady death armor: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29934

to the bodyshape of my choosing

but i cannot get it to import into blender at all...

any tips would be helpful ;D

thanks

I'm no modeler, and I'm taking a guess here, but are you having problems getting the nif file into blender? There's a script package which adds nif importing to blender.

The link has all the resources you need including blender, python, PyFFI and the nif scripts. Apparently, the nif scripts aren't compatible with blender 2.5+ or newer so 2.49 is the latest you can use. It also has install instructions which need to be followed.

Thanks for your help

It's just that this certain "armor" is giving me problems and other modders have said the same

Just tried all of the nif files in the archive.  All of them import just fine when using only "Realign Bone Tail Only" and "Merge Skeleton Roots" settings on import.  Using Blender v249, PyFFI v2.1.7, NIF scripts v2.5.5, Python26.

Edit: it's possible that you're just seeing super-long import times: the larger files take about 3-5 minutes to import on my machine.
