Scale correction¶

This value is used to globally re-scale the Blender system of measurement units to the Nif Format units.

• The ratio of a Nif Units (NU) to Blender Units (BU) is 1Bu:0.1Nu. or each NU is about 10x larger than a BU.

• The Blender Niftools Addon applies a default correction of 10

• The default setting ensures the imported model fits into the view Blender viewport.

Game¶

A list of supported games which the addon will export working nif files.

Process¶

Determines how to export the data in the blend file.

Export options include * All (nif) - Geometry and animation to a single nif. * All (nif, xnif, xkf) - Geometry and animation to a nif. Generates an xnif, and xkf. * Geometry only (nif) - Only geometry to a single nif. * Animation only (kf) - Only animation to a single kf.

Smooth Inter-Object Seams¶

This option combines the normals data for all vertices containing the same XYZ location data along an edge and uses the same normal tangent and bi-tangent values for all affected vertices.

Use NiBSAnimationNode¶

NiBSAnimationNode is specific to “The Elder Scrolls - Morrowind” and should only be used when exporting animated items for that game.

Flatten Skin¶

This option does something to the thing, no really it does, but I can’t tell you because it’s a sekret.

Pad & Sort Bones¶

Adjusts the number of bones in a given partition to match the total number of bones used for the dismember instance.

Max Partition Bones¶

The maximum number of bones that a single dismember partition can use before starting a new partition.

Max Vertex Bones¶

The maximum number of bone weight values that can be applied to a single vertex.

Force DDS¶

Changes the suffix for the texture file path in the nif to use .dds
