Can the export script in N3 be modified to export animations for animals/creatures/machines?
I've used the skeleton extractor to import a Wolf's skeleton into blender for testing, but the export script is set up for the human skeleton only i believe.
What parts of the script would i have to change to adapt it to a creature rig? Is there a way to maybe replace the new bone locations/rotations in parts of the script? Is there a tool that can extract or generate any usable information? Or is it possible to point me to any major sections of the script that i would need to change?
If there's a method to do this for each individual creature, or anyone has already tried it out, i would be happy for any tips.
( don't care about pyffi and python, which all the other tutorials want you to use, simply don't install those two)
After downloading both (links above), install Blender, then open Blender and go to: File-->User Preferences-----> Addon Tab---->Install from File--->Select the Nif Plugin .zip that you donwloaded----> DoubleCLick or hit the "install from File" (Top right corner)----> then choose on the left side of the panel "Community", now the Netimmerse/Gamebryo Addon should show---> check the little field on that addon to enable it, then click "Save User Settings.
Close that User Preferences tab and look under: File ---> Import (and Export) , there you should now be able to select .nif files and indeed it works for me now and with a somewhat "modern" Blender version
There's also a plugin for Blender V2.80+, which allows you to easily Import/Export nif and kf files: Blender Nif Plugin [Updated the link to point to the latest release]
the link goes to page not found, and i make it work on game but just for poses, how i make my idle animation work i need to do something more? just the first frame go like a normal pose

This is a particularly rude way to ask for help. If you want a response, or at least some community assistance, I would recommend thinking about wording this in a less demanding way. Asking over and over like this makes most people want to help you even less than they already would have wanted to.
I just made a model of a sword with blender 2.8. I did the modelling, UV mapping, shading and worked on the textures. I would like to import the sword in Skyrim and use it to slaughter some bandits:). How do I do it? Which files do I need?
Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask about this. I am a newbie in 3D modelling and modding and I am lost right now:(

I found a very easy way to get it working for Blender 2.7.8c, together with the Blender Nif Plugin 2.6.0.dev4 - Dev Branch - 2018-07-30
Download 2.7.8c Blender (32 bit .exe) + download the latest Nif Plugin 2.6.0.dev4 zip file
https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.78/blender-2.78c-windows32.msi
https://github.com/niftools/blender_nif_plugin/archive/2.6.0.pre-alpha-branch.zip
