Creating animation for Morrowind (2023)
Posted: 08 Sep 2023, 12:56
Greetings everyone.
I want to know what are the current ways to create animations for Morrowind, at the moment (2023)?
In 2011, I got interested in Morrowind, made mods for it, and even tried to make animations. I used 3Ds Max 5 and TES Exporter to do this. I exported the animation to a .kf file, and connected it to Morrowind using the AnimKit program by LizTail. Animations worked great, but there was one big BUT, the process of creating animations in 3Ds Max 5, which came out in 2002, it is pain and suffering! Even then, the current versions of 3DMax, Maya, Blender and other programs, had functionality that greatly facilitated and accelerated the process of creating animation, but the whole problem was how to export animation from these programs in Morrowind. Tried 3D Max 2012 + NifTools, but no matter what settings are set when exporting animation, it did not work in Morrowind
It's been a long time, what has changed? Perhaps there are new exporters that can export animation for Morrowind?
Or is it still the only way to create animations for Morrowind is 3Ds Max 5 + TES Exporter?
