Description
===========
Geometry animated fairy wings for putting on your characters.

Details
=======
This is a set of fairy wings I animated for Mojodajojo's Companion Fairy Lily mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21798

He encouraged me to upload them independently due to the download rating, so here they are. The wings are geometry morph animated, so all that is required is the wings themselves, no skeleton changes or modifications are necessary. They are bone weighted so they can be easily rigged to an NPC, custom race, and even mot creatures (they look pretty funny on a minotaur :D ). They can be added as a tail mesh for an NPC or custom race and they also work well set up as clothing or armor (remember to select an appropriate body slot for them if you use them so).


Install
=======
1. Extract to a temporary folder.
2. Set up your folder structure the way you like for your mod
3. Copy the fairywings.nif into the meshes folder you choose for your mod and the fairylightwings*.dds files into the textures folder you choose. You can also opt to use the fairydarkwings*.dds textures.
4. Edit the fairywings.nif texture paths to point to your chosen texture folders.
5. Add the wings to the npc, race, or creature in the CS.

For NPCs, it's best to set the wings up as a custom armor or clothing mesh using a ring or amulet slot. For a custom race select fairywings.nif as your tail mesh and make sure to set the tail texture as well.

For creatures, place the fairywings.nif into the creature's meshes folder (ie meshes\creatures\minotaur\ ) and then under the "Model List" tab of the creature's properties in the CS make sure that the riggedwings.nif is selected with a checkmark.

I've tried finding the original creator of this mesh and texture but he apparently is no longer active. I obtained them from Mojodajojo's Companion Fairy mod who obtained them from Zenman's Fairies of Cyrodiil mod. I've contacted both and none of us has been able to contact the original artist. If it's you PLEASE contact me so I can give proper credit and permission.

Uninstall
=========
Delete the fairywings.nif, fairylightwings.dds, fairylightwings_n.dds (or fairydarkwings*.dds) from your meshes and textures folders.
