NIF export from Blender is perfectly fine if you're working from scratch.
Skyrim doesn't seem to care that the models are an old format.
It should go without saying that if you change a model texture or any
resource other than the main plugin file, make sure you redeploy from Vortex
or you won't see the changes.
Likewise, if you change the texture in GIMP, you must rebuild the textures
or you won't see them anywhere.
If you include a texture it must be connected to the Color node of the Material
in the Shader node view, and the node name must be Base. The image path must
be the DDS in the /plugin folder. The NIF plugin is intelligent enough to relativize
the path when exporting.
