About this mod
set up 3dsmax5 in 5 minutes for Morrowind. A PDF guide, uses files already existing on Nexusmods
- Permissions and credits
Morrowind uses .NIF files to store 3dmodels/animations
With 3ds Max, you can create 3dmodels/animations.
3ds Max requires "NIF-exporter" plugins, so you can export your work into .NIF format which Morrowind can use.
3ds Max requires "NIF-importer" plugins, so you can import existing NIF files into 3ds max to further edit them.
For Morrowind, 3ds max 5 version is optimal, available here or here
The needed plugins are attached in 'Morrowind NIF plugins' folder. (also available here: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/51450/ )
View "3ds max 5 morrowind setup.pdf" to set up everything needed, tested working good on windows 10.
Also attached a few '3d modeling tutorials' for 3ds max5
3ds Max 5 is a 20 year old program, but very good to create Morrowind models/animations. if you can use it.
Blender is a good alternate choice if you have problems with 3dsMax. https://blender-morrowind.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Check Notes for modmakers for more information about NIF exporters, 3ds max and Nifskope use.
