Animating in Nifskope

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 9:56 pm

So I was reading Nifskope alchemy, specifically, http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/Morrowind/NifSkope_Alchemy#Animating_Nodes article. And decided I wanted to give it a try. I think I ran through everything and I get http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr256/ericthered1090/Random%20Stuff/animationtest.jpg. What looks wrong with http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr256/ericthered1090/Random%20Stuff/animationtest2.jpg? The tutorial says to link the NiKeyframeController to the BSAnimationNode. I know that nifskope is very picky about location of blocks and such, I'm just not very familiar with where it wants them.

Basically, I just wanted that ring on the spear to rotate about it constantly. Perhaps someone more versed in Nifskope can help me out?

Thanks!

Nevermind, amazingly I figured it out. I must have misunderstood the tutorial, I had to set the NiKeyframeController as the CONTROLLER for the NiBSAnimationNode, not as a Child. Now I got nice little rotating things around the spear :D
