I am currently learning to use Blender 2.49b and using Nifscripts 2.5.4.


After converting a .3DS model i downloaded from the net, when i try to check the Nif in Nifscope the model does not show in the view window. Anyone know what i am doing wrong ?

Edit. I can't import the NIf back into Blender which leads me to suspect that Nifscripts are possibly incompatible with the latest version of Blender ?.

Hello!

it takes long to import but it works for me in NifTools and in Blender. I use the same blender and nifscript version likw you. Maybe try it with the default import settings.

hmmm, i can see the nif in nifskope fine :huh: so how come you cant? if thats still your problem? also check you have the latest pyfii and python (although the blender nif exportet needs them to be there before it installs anyway, also check you have an upto date nifskope *shrug* i know u have probably thought of all of this but :meh: you might have missed something :wave:

I can open the model smoothly in Nifskope, no problems here.
Wolly is possibly right, check last python/pyffy versions just in case.

Thanks for the responses which helped pinpoint the problem to NIfskope.


I was able to view Nifs properly in Nifscope , just not the ones i had made. So I fiddled around with varous settings in Nifskope , when i turned off the render settings then re-applied them after unticking the 'show hidden' box then re ticking it, the model showed up. It doesn't make much sense to me but at least it is working now .

cool, who knows what was up with it, and can u imprort the nifs into blender yet? or does it still not wokr :stare:

i have only tried a couple so far, one does the other not so presumably the one that doesn't needs adapting in some way ?

hmmm, might be some settings or something, just check u have everyhing up todate and all, no idea what it could be i'm just learning
