  Not in NIFSkope; you need a real mesh editor like Blender or 3DS, with a plug-in that understands Skyrim NIFs (or something like https://github.com/BadDogSkyrim/PyNifly that can transfer between Blender and NIF). You have to edit the mesh to add the bones that move the mesh, then generate the xml file to control the physics. You can look at some of the SMP jewelry mods to see how it's done.

  Not sure if this is relevant, but I also prefer using pynifly for .nif import/export.

  I personally find PyNifly much easier to use, so I’m more familiar with that.

• Exporting from Blender3.0 to Nif using NifAddon

  https://github.com/BadDogSkyrim/PyNifly use this - it is much better - currently using blender 3.1 and it works great. No scaling or rotation issues - faster and simple - exports in LE and SE nifs - Select all your objects ( weapon and blood fx meshes) and export into a new nif - choose a vanilla weapon with a similar profile and save a copy of the nifs to the same folder (1st person and 3rd person meshes) - open both the nif you exported from blender and the vanilla nif you are using as a template simultaneously - copy the BStrishapes from you exported nif into the vanilla nif one at a time and set all your BSshaderproperties and flags up accordingy, using the vanilla nif as an example - once you are happy with the way the new model looks, delete the original weapon and blood fx meshes and save the nif as a new file and name it accordingly - after that, in xedit, find the records in the vanilla game for the weapon you used as an example - right click and copy the record as a new record into a new plugin - give it a new ID - after you tweak the new plugin, save it and give it a unique name and note the ref ID you gave the weapon - activate the plugin and enter the game - open the console after loading and type player.additem (YourRefID) 1 or type help (YourWeaponName) 4 and get the ref ID there and then add it

  PyNifly is probably the easiest for you to use.

• Skyrim to Blender help!
  1 project | /r/skyrimmods | 10 Oct 2022

  You can use PyNifly to import/export NIFs with Blender. It’s under active development and works with the newest version of Blender too. I find it a lot easier to use than the NifTools plugin.
