Heya.

I gave oblivion a break after sometime, just decided to pop back in.

Im trying my hand (again) and getting a single Braid hair mesh unto the Male Style Ponytail01, problem is with the Tools I have (3Dsmax 2010) the meshes cant be loaded into the program because their are no Nif Plugins for this version as far as I know. I have the two meshes, Oblivions Ponytail01 and the hair mesh that contains the Braid from the Navatar Mod, that particular mesh is a wig infact but I need to set it as a hair and specifically on the ponytail hair.

Essentially I want to attach the Braid part of the mesh onto the vanilla ponytail.

any advice? I can't use blender, there is a whole Myriad of issues I experience with that program ontop of not even seeing a render window .

lol at the moment Im updating my mod list so happy I BSA'd nearly everything. makes life so much easier

Actually, there is a non-publically released version of niftools plugin for Max 2010, that adds support for that 3D program version:

Niftools team has been looking for a 3DS Max niftools plugin coder for while now, so the v3.5 of the plugin was never finalized to "public release" stability. I hear the plugin works ok, though, from a couple of people. Just be aware some bugs may pop up..or not.

Koniption

:brokencomputer: oi, alright I'll take a wack at it. thanks for the information, i'll update to any developements..

sigh :confused: I installed the plugins, seemed to go without a hitch it was listed under 32 bit which had me a bit puzzled because my version is 64bit on WIN 7 64 bit. while loading 3DS an error message appeared detailing that it could not load the DLL for Nif plugin, the program came up fine but I don't see the plugin(s)....or am I looking in the wrong area, majority aspect is I dont think 3DS loaded the plugins as hinted by the error

Well in realization of my obstacles, I'm now requesting a...Hair edit if you will, anyone who's able to load their respective 3D modeling program and Oblivions Hair Nifs. Ultimately all thats needed to be done is attaching one part of a Hair nif to another, the Navatar Wig for Males (the Braid of that) onto the Back of the Ponytail01 for Males. I am unaware how simple or difficult that may be as I cannot load the Nifs or the plugins associated with them .

Please I beseech for aid
