Below are a list of tools for use in modeling Skyrim in Blender :
I will continue to add them as I find them and have begun adding
them as links to save data space and be sure mod owners get
proper credit. if you see your mod here in link or other wise and want it removed just let me know.
This is resource for modders for Blender 2.49b
Archive contains prepared full default female CBBE skeleton for import to blender 2.49b
Skeleton does not have breast bones, so it does not support BBP/TBBP
use this skeleton with mods that uses UNP/CBBE/DG
Sometimes default skeleton from femalebody.nif femalehands.nif femalefeet.nif does not have required bones
(for example when you try to create stockings or long gloves)
This skeleton is solution for it, it is skeleton for importing as parent armature before exporting ready nif file
It is NOT a skeleton for testing geometry with animation, if you try to import it with animation you will see trash

Also a Non Blender modding resource for Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls Construction Set is the same one as the developers at Bethesda used to produce almost all of the game’s content. Features include:
- It can edit almost all aspects of the game excluding 3D object creation. Unofficial 3D Studio MAX, Maya, and Blender plugins have been released to allow people to make their own models.
- It is designed to allow easy editing while providing extended operation for experts to create more complex objects.
- All changes, additions, modifications, or deletions by the editor are stored in files called plugins. Bethesda says that a typical plugin (small dungeon, loot, quests, etc…) should be around 200kb in size. Additional models, sound, or music may increase that size significantly though.
- There is effectively no limit to the number of plugins you can apply to the game. This means that you can download and install whichever plugins suit your fancy. The game has good checks in place to ensure that multiple plugins do not interfere with each other.
- Plugins can easily be added or removed from the game. Thus, if you install a plugin which messes up the game or you don’t like, it can be removed.
- Typical creation time for a decent plugin is very small. Developers at Bethesda say they were making simple quests and dungeons in under an hour when they first started to use it. The editor uses a drag-and-drop technique to accomplish this. For example, you might drag several dungeon sections from the library to create a full dungeon, and then drag in a few monsters and NPCs and some items/treasure for atmosphere.
- Simple scripts (no function definitions) can be implemented for most objects in the game allowing for practically limitless possibilities.
- [Tutorial] explaining the layout and interface of the CS.
- The Construction Set is available for digital download . It also comes bundled with most versions of the game.
- The free Bethesda. edition does not include the Construction Set.
The link above is to The Unofficial Elder Scrolls pages with full information and plugins for the below download.
- The free Bethesda. edition does not include the Construction Set.
This is the Bethesda construction kit , AKA Tescs3
