NifSkope 2.0 Dev 9

2023-09-29

Please read the updated README_GLTF.

If you have exported anything skinned you should re-export them. (See next item for details)

glTF Export Fixes

• Fixes issue with some corrupted weights in the first bone/vertex group caused by Bethesda using non-zero weights where inappropriate. The small non-zero weights (e.g. 0.000015) did not affect the game, however glTF is very strict about non-zero weights and these small weights were replacing existing weights.
• Pasting in the COM skeleton is now optional. You will receive a warning that a flat skeleton has been reconstructed for you. You only need to paste in the COM skeleton if you want a full, posable armature.
• Correctly export NIF with Havok Cloth bones, which do not exist in the COM skeleton. If Havok Cloth bones are present, export will fall back to a flat skeleton (even if you have pasted in COM).
