How to Edit GECK Models in Blender
Game aficionados mod out their games with the Garden of Eden Creation Kit - a "Fallout" development tool Bethesda has released for the game's fans. "Fallout: New Vegas" is the latest in the post apocalyptic series from Bethesda software. Set in a land that has weathered atomic devastation by using fallout shelters, "Fallout" mixes dark humor with classic science fiction. Many use Blender, a free modeling and animation program, to create terrain, characters, items, weapons and armor to load into the GECK to make custom Fallout scenarios.

Visit the GNU Image Manipulation Program website. Blender does not support the GECK's native texture format: Direct Draw Surface (DDS). Two more programs need to be added. GIMP is a plug-in for Blender. It adds more file diversification to Blender unfortunately it also needs a plug-in to support DDS.

Download and install the DDS plug-in. The default directory is "blender/plugins." Register the two new plug-ins by restarting Blender.

Navigate to "Fallout: New Vegas" file directory. Blender can only modify the game's texture files - fur, armor, skin, gloss or glow. Open and edit the DDS file of your choice with Blender's multi-texture and texture blending modes.

Continue editing the files for your new scenario. Return to the GECK and build it. Test thoroughly before running n Fallout.
