How To: Custom Collision Shapes - darkconsole/dse-display-model GitHub Wiki

Tools Needed

• A 3D modeling program that can export Oldrim NIFs.
• Nifskope.
• ChunkMerge (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hJvBKVcfQh3M-EZHprpm1KMYG5_rRafj/view?usp=sharing).

Process

• Nifskope:

  • Copy a BHK collision tree from a working mesh into the final mesh you want to have collision into your final model.
  • the BSXFlags
  • the bhkCollisionObject
  • Spells > Sanitize > Reorder Blocks

• Make extremely low poly basic shape in 3D app.

• Export as Oldrim NIF, overwrite shape.nif in ChunkMerge\nifs

• ChunkMerge:

  • nif-file: overwrite nifs\output.nif
  • collision-file nifs\shape.nif
  • template nifs\template-clutter.nif (you have to choose the folder, then set the file in the dropdown)
  • tick mesh data

• Nifskope:

  • Copy the bhkMoppBvTreeShape into the bhkCollisionObject->bhkRigidBody on your final model.
  • Delete old collision shape that may have been unseated by copying in new shape.
  • Make sure the chunk material's material is whatever it should be, and that layer is clutter.
  • Spells > Sanitize > Reorder Blocks again.
