✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid track record with 360 endorsements and 6k downloads
- Fills a specific need for mesh conversion in Fallout 4 modding
- Command-line tool means it's scriptable and automatable
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since 2018, so it may not support newer game versions or mesh types
- Command-line only – no GUI, which might intimidate casual modders
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that use custom mesh formats
For Fallout 4 modders who need to convert NiTriShape to BSTriShape or vice versa, especially those working with custom armor or weapon meshes. If you're a texture or quest modder, this isn't for you – it's purely a mesh utility. Skip if you're not comfortable with command-line tools.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Run the tool from the command line with the input and output file paths as arguments.
- Test on a copy of your mesh first to ensure the conversion doesn't break anything.
- If you're using a mod manager, keep the tool in a separate folder and reference it manually.
