The one TORSO part covers the upper body normally, the other one covers the region between the calves and the thighs Гўв‚¬вЂњ both together form what I assigned in Blender to the BP_TORSO Vertex Group.

Unfortunately after exporting the armor (to get used to the whole process I simply use an unmodified Thieves Guild armor torso_0.nif mesh) when opening it in NifSkope I get two BP_TORSO skin partitions (one has PF_EDITOR_VISIBLE, the other PF_EDITOR_VISIBLE | PF_START_NET_BONESET as 'Part FlagГўв‚¬Е“ value) although I followed exactly the instructions given here and assigned exactly the same parts of the mesh to the different Vertex Groups as seen in the original torso_0.nif. Thank you for this detailed instruction as a complete beginner it helped me a lot to get started. While most of the tutorials are written in rough draft, adding them to this forum and uploading the pictures takes time. They also assume basic knowledge of the Creation Kit.Дisclaimer: Please be patient. These are advanced tutorials that assume the reader knows and understands NifSkope and their way around in Blender. * Blender 2.49b (not tested on higher versions, but do not use 2.6x versions - the Nifscripts aren't up to the task yet) Make a cup of tea, grab some cookies and take your time, there's a lot of information here.Д®ach part is also available in a Word document version for those who prefer to have a printed copy. Don't be afraid, get in there and try it. Each tutorial is written in a 'classroom' way for you to follow along in the tools yourself.

Thus is born this series of tutorials that describe the process of creating/modifying armor and/or clothing for Skyrim in detail with plenty of pictures. I've discovered some very interesting facts that I hope will help any others who decide to try their hand at new armors/clothing for Skyrim. In my bid to understand why none of my modified armors worked in game, I've delved deep into the steaming underbelly of Nifskope to dissect every miniscule part of how the Skyrim body works.
