No, I took the vanilla body, then I changed its shape, just a few changes, I didn't retextured it. And if u mean with 'set it as armor' that I used ctrl+A, then yes. I parented all the parts to the vanilla skeleton and exported and imported it in NifSkope. That was the last thing I did.
It is invisible ingame
I'm sorry, it doesn't work for me, I can't upload an image there, but maybe the image isn't necessary, if I just texture my cuirass like a normal body, then it should be OK in the game, right. Or else it's something else I did wrong.
i ve just made one, but i don't know how to send it with this site, i can by email. You can give me ur email or maybe u know how to send it through this site.
I ll discribe the picture, maybe then you don't need te picture:
It's a (thinner) body without texture, it's just white. And it's only the upperbody.
