Starfield Geometry Bridge - Blender Plugin

This plugin is  a Starfield Model Assets creation tool for Blender. Major supported features include:

• []Starfield Nif file (.nif) import/export

  []Morph data (.dat) import/export.

  []Mesh file (.mesh) import/export.

  []Cloth Physics export.

  Please do NOT assume Starfield's model assets are similar with previous BGS games. If you have questions about what these files now contain or what they are used for, please read through this article.

  Why you need this tool to import models?

  A: In starfield, the .nif file no longer holds geometry data. It actually points to a .mesh file which holds the geometry of the model.

  Installation:

  Install it like any other blender plugin. You should find new options for export/import and a new panel inside "Tool" sidebar.

  Reinstall the plugin and restart blender before export!

  Before exporting...

  • []Make sure your model has less vertices than 65536, since it's the maximum number of verts .mesh file can hold.

    []Make sure your model is UV unwrapped.

    []Make sure your model is cleaned (no floating vertices and non-manifold faces. Auto Clean-up is featured in v0. 8-h3.).
