Nifskope head and body part swaps???

[Psycowargod]

Is it possible to swap head's, arms and other body parts from one mesh to any other. i've just started playing around with Nifskope so if any one can help me out with this it would be awesome...

thanks

Yes, it is possible, but it is a fairly lengthy and tedious process.

Essentially, it involves going into the TriShapeData and removing the parts you don't want, and keeping the parts that you do.   So if you wanted, for example, the head from male_basic_70s_hair, you'd have to go into the array of Triangles and zero out all the triangles that make up the rest of the body.  There a couple of other steps like pruning redundant triangles and removing "doublicate" vertices that would need to follow as well.   You'd probably have to remove the head from the mesh you wanted to add it to as well.

There could also easily be issues with the pieces not lining up right.  And you might need to alter some of the vertices actual position to close the gaps.

that sounds like way to big of a project for me to tackle... thank for the info any way...

It is a big undertaking, a lot of work...I've tried it...And gave up.
