Notable sites for Skyrim Mod Sharing :

Before Proceeding it is very important to only share skyrim mods that is not blocked by paywall, it is their creation after all with all due respect them, as most of them usually makes it on their own using ZBrush and other program..

Part 1 : Importing the .nif file

Traverse the meshes folder until u find...

Choose whichever you want to Convert... for me i will choose upper_1.nif

Let it load.. it might take a while base on how heavy the mesh are, usually it will take around 1-2 mins for 2 mb+ nif file, until...

What the its so big how am i going to fit it to my personal body mod??????????????? np proceed to part 2 IVF0o1fC_400x400.png

Part 2 : Scaling the mesh

Screenshot 11-01-2021 19.46.31.png

Use Dimension Scale set X Y Z to value of 1 (smaller)

Screenshot 11-01-2021 19.50.38.png

Rotate them 180 degree, don't ask me why skyrim have off-axis mesh, i was also confused first :v

Screenshot 11-01-2021 19.52.30.png

Before going to Sculpting, press the keybind 'Ctrl + A' to confirm transform for the mesh then go to edit mode to "fit" it to the body for me it is like this :

Part 3 : Sculpting

                        i actually do not know what to add for sculpting guide really, it is base on experience, and how hard the body you want to convert the cloth to

however i do have some tips for beginners use 'Clay', 'Sculpt Draw', 'Grab', 'Snake hook'. use these and train yourself and remember to always save your progress!

Avoid using Smooth / Blob / Inflate / Deflate 

Result :

For weighting and exporting to .dae file, follow the guide for Collatkane, the tutorial should be here

 

If you wish to share the mods in this site, though they most likely will not ever find this site Credit the original creators!!!!

@Cross there is more things i have not mention in this tutorial, for the moment use this guide until, i have more time to extend the guide

It worked, thanks!
The main thing is to import it into a blender, for further there is already a guide on the forum
The only thing is that some clothes consist of two objects and when combining UV maps are superimposed on each other

yes.. some works are clean they only use one UV maps, i suggest to search for much newer works from the sites i provided.

there are endless stuff you can find in skyrim as the modding community is large, happy scavenging!

I connected a cloth from several pieces, in the basic state it looks good, the textures are also displayed as they should, but when it deforms, gaps are visible
Can this be fixed?

Go to edit mode. Select all vertices. Go to mesh>cleanup>remove doubles.

That should fuse everything together.

Edit: you should do this all the time. No matter what. You too @sevenseason

i've never do that but dp16 did tell me about it, but i have not encountered any issue when not doing it, what does 'remove double' do exactly?

Simply put it removes overlapping vertices that might seem singular.  Sometimes it is just a few vertices, other times it could be thousands.  It just depends. It might also significantly reduce your poly count by removing vertices that are not necessary. Makes your addon less prone to having issues with the game.  So when you are using game assets especially, removed doubles is basically a must.  The issue @Cross happens also if your trying to port Sims4 assets.

If you are applying more than one texture to a mesh you do that by adding multiple materials to the mesh.  I believe the game will only read one texture per material. If you have separated the clothing into multiple meshes then just create a new material per mesh alt1, alt2, alt3, etc...

If you are trying to apply different materials to different parts of he mesh that is a bit more involved. You will then need to assign vertex groups to different materials.
