Hello,

I'm looking for help regarding converting models to nif format. I would like to try my hand at creating some meshes, but I have zero experience with Blender. I have some experience with Cinema4D, though. Unfortunatelly, nif scripts have no version for Cinema, so I need to export the resulting model first in different format(obj maybe?), load it in blender and then save it as nif. Problem is that I tried this in the past and failed to do so. Does anyone have any experience with this? I found an old tutorial in tutorials thread, but it was not for Cinema and all pics showing the settings were gone.

Any help would be appreciated

You can definitely export an obj from Cinema and import it into Blender and then export it as a NIF, but, from my experience (which may equate to ignorance), that always seems to remove the material properties (and maybe the UV too, I haven't done it in a while). So it may take a little extra work as opposed to just creating something in Blender.

But I could have just been importing the obj incorrectly, because I seem to remember that some obj files come with a mtl file or something which I assume contains the material properties... but I don't know how to import that along with the obj.
