NifSkope is a handy application designed to open and edit the properties of NIF files. It is useful for game developers that deal with 3D models, graphics and textures. The NIF files are found in the games powered by the Gamebryo engine and include 3D models that create the game levels. You can edit these components in order to change the aspect of the environment that is experienced by the player. Compare textures and change properties This application is a graphical editor that can manage the information stored in the NetImmerse File (NIF). It allows you to examine the content if you need to compare multiple textures and to modify certain parameters. If you want to create a similar model and only change some of its properties, NifSkope can help. You can load the desired model, change its properties such as the transparency or the texture and save the new NIF model.

The designers can use this tool for optimizing or cleaning the NIF content by combining properties and check the links included in the content.

The interface is easy to use and the features are well-structured in the menus.
