Danglymesh (Aurora Flex) in Blender (2.79 & 2.8) - a tutorial for NWN1 models

NWN1 uses danglymesh (fleximesh) to simulate swaying/dangling. It is to be found e.g. on  cloths and hairs of creature models, but also some placeables or tiles have meshes, which make use of this, e.g. flags.

This is a tutorial on how to create a danglymesh in Blender 2.79, but the process is pretty much the same for 2.8 (and higher, I'd guess).

Happy dangling!

You'll need Neverblender for this:

English is not my native language, so you might stumble upon weird sentences, grammatical or spelling mistakes. But I hope, that it’s understandable enough.

Special thanks go out to:

Symmetric for his great Neverblender-tool and his help on how to create a “danglymesh” in Blender (which differs a bit from the way it is done in [G]Max).

Zwerkules for his tip regarding the render order, which plays a role, when combining alphas and danglymeshes (see comments on the Geralt-delivery - https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/model/witcher-1-creature-conve...).
