taskmaster with no cape or hood, fiery head superskrull

[Omegaprime]

 looking to do two scopes, fantastic 4 super skrull type with human head and taskmaster with no cape, all weapons, fiery head fx? i'm very new and very eager to learn to do these myself. Also in need of a full usable nifscope, I have blender 3.3 and i'm starting to learn to use it as well as making skins. Please help? thank you in advance for any assistance.

If you are asking how to use Nifskope this forum is a compilation of tutorials, just search. Or off site. I don't know what you mean by a "full usable version of Nifskope" to be of help there.

sorry, i'm kinda a newb in all respects. I have found a usable version of nifscope and many tutorials since my posting. I was a half-arse comic sketch artist lost the manual dexterity due to injury to hand draw and i'm now trying to relearn on a digital platform and found Freedom Force and all its community! I am sorry if I fail to use proper terminology, still learning the basics.

I don't know that there is a proper terminology. Mostly trying to figure out if you were having problems installing Nifskope. Else I figured your new to it. These forums and others are where to find what you need to know. Obviously you need to learn the basics before doing harder stuff, and it turns out Nifskope is easy once you just used it a few times. Mostly I suggest just installing it, open files and getting a feel for where the options are and what a Nif looks like before all else. Do experiments (save copies of course) and just examine the nif and keyframe files that already exist. That was where I started. Once you get all the basics down it's smooth sailing from there.

In your requests case mostly what you need is learning to copy parts properly is all. Copying head FX from one to another. Copying a head, else knowing how to model a new head but you still have to copy it in and last Hiding the Taskmaster cape. Almost all involves Copy Branch and Paste Branch and then observe where the item in question was in the original nif and make it ends up looking like that in the nif you copy it to.

thank you, I have adopted the strategy you suggested and I feel I'm in a good starting place, thanks for the copies suggestion I probably would have messed up a couple meshes before realizing...I have Nifscope up an running and I'm currently trying what you said. Thank you again. this allows me a connection with my kids and they think dad is kinda cool ,instead of a boring construction worker

Need a mesh, just ask, I'll see if I have it

I like that. A few that have come through here did this for their kids or grandkids. I would always help out with requests made by their kids for that matter. And hey I loved working construction, still love building houses though my health isn't too kind for it these days (I sealed a roof and just fixed a broken water pipe, I am NOT getting any younger here).

And hey, mess up things. Make backup copies first, like a copy nif for example. But messing them up and just playing around with files is the way I learned the right way to do anything and made new discoveries with this stuff. It's more important than say me typing out an answer because you get a better feel for it all and come about your own personal method for doing all this. I tear apart and break files all the time still, even from different games just to see how they work.

Otherwise all you need do is learn the right order of operations and the right settings. Both games are fairly restrictive so it turns out to be rather simple. Like you of course want say the lighting to match everything else in the game so the character doesn't look weird. My suggestion to anyone is always have a clean cope of male_basic_effects on hand that is converted for whatever sequel you are working with to open up in another Nifskope window and put side by side with the other project you are making that acts as a guide and that you can copy settings from if need be. That one mesh is set up perfectly for  . When converted with the lighting values option on it has the perfect settings for  . So it becomes simple after this point. I still use this technique as a short cut even though I know most of these settings by memory.
