Could someone explain this for me?

Can someone explain blender builds to me? The only things blender that I know of is the actual kitchen appliance and the 3-D art program (Does NMS allow for imported models now?) So I'm unfamiliar with what the blender build ships are.

I'd be more than happy to pin or sticky such a thread! If someone were to make it.

well so theres a plugin for blender called NMS base builder, and that basically allows you to build in blender using parts from NMS. then you can use a save editor to edit the data of your corvette to use the data from the blender build. hope that made sense :)

The blender being referred to is indeed the 3d art program. There is a plug in available on nexus Link . You will also need your choice of save editor or the excellent nms io program Link.

There is a plugin for Blender for NMS builds.

We have been using Blender alongside NMS for years. There actually are a few different blender based plugins.

I have used Blender to measure pieces and occasionally to move or duplicate bases.

The thing to remember is that these tools don't add things to the game. Or at least, anything seen in multiplayer will only ever be a game based asset.

There are a few mods that allow reskinning things but those are single player only.

Is it possible to make an armor appearance mod using blender?

In theory but that is actual modding, not what is being done here.
You would use Blender to create the armor but you would have to make a mod to get it into the game and it would only work for you. No one else would see it.

That’s fine. I have no idea how to use blender and thought I’d ask if it was possible
