==================== Whitefang Grand Piano model resource -------------------- http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13746 ====================
Version: 1. 0 Date: 07-25-2010 Authors: David Whitefang (original meshes & textures) HugePinball (conversion/modification of meshes, new textures) ==================
- Please note:
- I haven't yet done everything I had wanted to with this, and what is here is not completely to my satisfaction, but I didn't want to let it sit any longer. If you're able to help improve this resource or fix any possible mistakes (I'm hardly an experienced 3D-modeler), please contact me so your contributions can be added.
Description ==================== This resource is a conversion and modification of David Whitefang's piano resources for Oblivion. The original work by David Whitefang can be found here: + David Whitefang Piano Improved - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18942 + David Whitefang Piano Lid Open Improved - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18988
I've converted the mesh to Fallout 3 NIF format, and also made some modifications, namely increasing the height of the legs about 2. 5 times, overall rescale to what seemed a more appropriate size (slightly smaller), some new UV mapping (on keys and trim), added the manufacturer's name ("Whitefang"), and created new textures for the keys and trim.
If you prefer the piano without the Whitefang manufacturer name, simply open the NIF in NifSkope, and under the WhitefangName node change the Alpha value on the NiMaterialProperty to 0. Textures for an alternate font are also included.
All asset files are under the path "\Meshes\WhitefangPiano" and "\Textures\WhitefangPiano".

A resource mod converting David Whitefang's piano models from Oblivion for modders. With 389 endorsements and 5,906 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated asset pack for creators looking to add pianos to their projects.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 389 endorsements and nearly 6k downloads.
- Direct conversion from a known author (David Whitefang) adds credibility.
- Fills a niche for piano assets in modding, useful for tavern or mansion builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010, so it's ancient by modding standards and may not work with modern setups.
- As a resource, it's not plug-and-play; you need modding knowledge to actually use it.
- Compatibility with current game versions or other mods is unverified due to age.
For modders who need piano models for their projects, especially those building interiors like taverns, mansions, or music-themed areas. Skip if you're a player looking for a ready-to-install piano—this is a resource, not a gameplay addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a modder's resource, you'll need to import the models into your own mod using the Creation Kit or similar tools.
- Check the original Oblivion resource for any textures or meshes that might need converting to your game's format.
- If you're new to modding, start with a simple mod tutorial before tackling resource integration.
