• 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".
