==Overview==

{{Blender Project Info}}

The main features of the scripts are:
* native DDS support - no longer need to convert your textures - for this to work you need a recent version of Blender, at least 2.46
* support for all currently known NIF versions and many games (because PyFFI processes the format xml description directly, any update to the format can be immediately used)
* built-in stripifier, tangent space calculation, and skin partition calculation
* handles Oblivion collisions fairly well (everything fully supported except for mopps which are still very experimental, this will likely remain so)
* full bone and skinning support
* animation support for Morrowind and Oblivion
* Oblivion custom "skeleton.nif" support, including havok and constraints
