My problem is basically what the title says. I want to create a new floor tile for the workshop mode. I do my 3d work in blender. So far, I have been able to export it to 3ds max from where I export it again as a .nif file. I copied the branches of the new nif file into the file of an existing floor tile and removed the old model. All parts of my model have the following branches: BSTriShape >BSLightingShaderProperty >BSShaderTextureSet My problem is with the textures: I have done the UV mapping in blender, yet the coordinates somehow seem to get lost on their way to nifscope, where the textures do not show up and the surfaces stay white. I do not have any experience with UV mapping in 3ds max, but got far enough to see the UV editor and play around a bit in it and placing the faces all across the board, I was able to get the texture onto the nif object after exporting. HOWEVER, I do not want to do all the UV mapping from scratch again, 1st because I am not familiar with the controls of 3ds max and basically have zero workflow there, 2nd because copying and pasting the UV coordinates vertex by vertex would take ages, just like doing it all over again would (I got a whole tileset in the making and most objects are more complex than a floor tile). So my question is if there is any way to make sure vertices keep their UV coordinates throughout this conversion chain from blender to 3ds max to nifscope. Thanks in advance already.

Hey guys. I am trying to make my first model replacer mod but im having a huge problem. I use 3ds Max and i have a model already created but it needs to be UVW unwrapped. I add the UVW unwrap modifier, click "Face", select the whole model and then press "Edit" under "Perimeter" and a window opens up and shows a whole bunch of screwed up lines that don't have any kind of relation to my model. My model is like a cube.
