NifSkope is a useful Windows program that was designed to open and edit the properties of NIF files. The application is mainly aimed at game developers who work with 3D graphics, textures and objects.

Compatible format

The NIF files are generally found in video games powered by the Gamebryo engine and based around 3D models. With this tool, you have the ability to edit these components in order to change the player’s experience. If you need a dedicated utility for working with Grand Theft Auto models, you may use ZModeler.

Compare textures and change properties

This software serves as a graphical editor that is capable of managing the information stored in the NetImmerse File. It enables you to examine the content, compare multiple textures as well as to modify specific parameters. For example, you can load the premade model, change some of its properties such as transparency and save the project as a new NIF file.

Import and highlight elements

Moreover, you are able to use this utility to import 3DS or OBJ models to generate the desired 3D texture file. It is worth mentioning that you have the option to highlight certain materials by using custom colors to easily view the changes as you modify your model.
