Can anyone tell me why it looks wrong? What did I do wrong? Anyway to fix it? I use Blender

I don't know much about modding, but are all your files imported correctly?

What do you mean? I have Blender .NIF scripts if that is what you mean. It imports the .NIFs perfectly. I have changed .NIFs before and never had this problem with it. With the CS I just made a new armor and attached it to "Biped model". if it will help to see it in Blender I can post a pic of that to.

Do you have a normal map? No normal for your texture can cause invisible armor :nod:

I forgot it! Can't believe I forgot,lol thanks. But what about the Pauldrens? Do you think those will get fixed to?

Why it looks wrong would entirely depend on what you actually did in Blender to it.
Have you http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Custom_Cuirass_in_Blender_Part_1? It may answer a lot of questions.

I added the normal map and it looks fine now. One more question, if you look closely right under the 3 band pouldrens I Added another plate cause otherwise they would just be floating there. The only problem is that those 2 new plates are attached to the arms so they move with the arms. the arm is a seperate object from the pouldren object. is there anyway to move those plates from the arms object to the new pouldren object? ctrl-d just duplicates it within the arm object, I Tried to use ctrl c and ctrl v but in blender those commands dont wor as copy and paste.

no one?

In blender, take the arms into edit mode, carefully select each face of the 'plates'. Hit "P" and separate selected. This has now made the plates it's own object.
Go back into object mode, make sure to deselect everything, then select the pauldrons and the plates. CTRL+J to join them together.

Ok, thanks

BTW how does this armor look? would you use it?

I like it, very stylish, and I love orange, lol. I'd use it.

ok i did it, but the plates still move with the arms, do they have to be detached from the skeleton somehow or something?

Nope, everything has to be attached to the skeleton. You could try removing the exiting weight painting and redoing it to the same as the pauldrons.

dude you lost me. lol.

:teehee: Tell you what, since it's so hard to tell what's wrong with a nif without seeing it, send it to me over at TESA and I can take a look and/or fix.

Please DON'T break this one :ahhh: :rofl:

And if I can't fix it, InsanitySorrow will (for that comment).

lol. ok thanks. I you know what plate im talking about right?

Ok I sent it.
