Skyrim Modding Tutorial - Weapon [Model+Textures+Import] part1

The WHOLE creation process for beginners starting from an image of a random weapon. Modeling the weapon, creating a texture and all necessary DDS files, compilation of the NIF files, extraction of the original game files (meshes,textures...) and import to Skyrim as a standalone weapon plugin, basic knowledge - translation of my german tutorial.
Used software: Cinema 4D, Mudbox, Photoshop, NifSkope, FO3 Archive Utility, Creation Kit
You can use other programs as well, the PROCESS itself is the same.
