Trying to make a basic skope i copied and pasted a mesh's "wig" on a different mesh. On Nifskope all looked right, but when i opened the mesh with Ctool the wig was flying above the character's head, it didn't moved when he moved. How i can "glue" the wig on the mesh, so it will follow the character's moves?
I am using  :ffvstr: and tried follow this guide:

Thanks in advance!

In all likelihood you missed this:

QuoteThis renaming is important. Click to open up all horns2 child nodes. See the NIskininstance node and its children? They are the source of all sorts of anguish if you leave them there. Click on the NIskininstance node, right click and select block,remove branch. Poof!

if the hair isn't moving at all, you need to paste it on the bip01 head.

Thanks a lot, Tomato! I had pasted it on the wrong place, now it is perfect!
I have one more question, how i can paste a cape on non-cape mesh? I am trying paste a Superman cape on Renegade's Invincible mesh. When i tried it Nifscope gave me this message: "failed to map parent link "NiNode|cape top". I can paste the node from the original, but where? and where i should paste the cape? On the "cape top" node?
Once again thanks for the help!

Ok, to copy capes is a bit tricky the first time, but once you've done it it's fairly simple to do.

In order to copy capes, the very first thing you want to do is copy the "cape top" branch from the Spine1 bone of your cape mesh to the Spine1 of the mesh you want to have a cape. You can then copy the Cape mesh to the new meshes scene root... NOT to the cape top node. Also, DO NOT remove the skininstance after you've copied the cape, because it will cause you problems if you do.

Thanks again, Tomato! Just did it. The cape looks great, but the damn thing keeps "phasing" on the torso when the character make more radical moves (like punching). I made a copy of the "cape top" and pasted the cape on the scene root, like you told me, there is anything else i can do to keep the cape on the right place?
Once again, thanks a lot for your help!
