How to set up envioriment variables
COMMONLIB_SSE_FOLDER
Clone this Repository, to somewhere safe and adds its path to this environment variable on Windows.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/alandtse/CommonLibVR
cd CommonLibVR
git checkout ngIf it does not compile, you could try cloning this repository. If I make any changes to commonlib, they will be here first.

NIF resources are parsed with ousnius/nifly and rendered by this plugin's own Direct3D 11 pipeline. The renderer no longer clones objects into Skyrim's UI3DSceneManager or asks the Creation Engine to draw menu meshes.
The mesh pipeline uses its own deferred context and off-screen color/depth resources on Skyrim's D3D11 device. Its three directional lights cast rasterized, alpha-tested shadows through a filtered shadow-map array. It does not hook Skyrim's render loop or bind mesh state directly to Skyrim's immediate context. Initial creation waits for GPU completion, and save calls return after the output file has been written. A 10 ms task loop renders meshes whose existing mustUpdate or alwaysUpdate fields request an update.
The path-based and form-based APIs load loose or archived game resources. NIF paths may be passed either as full resource paths (meshes\weapons\iron\Longsword.nif) or as model paths returned by game forms (weapons\iron\Longsword.nif); the renderer normalizes the latter under meshes\. The legacy NiAVObject list overloads remain in the public header for ABI compatibility, but return nullptr: nifly consumes serialized NIF streams and cannot reconstruct one from arbitrary live scene objects.
The public API and its original create, save, and delete exports remain unchanged, so existing copied API headers continue to work.
NPC meshes created from a unique loaded actor automatically follow that actor's live FaceGen expression, modifier, and phoneme morphs. For non-unique actors, call Mesh::SetFaceMorphSource(actor) after creating the mesh to select the actor instance whose live face should be mirrored.
Mesh::SetExpression(expression, value) applies an NPC expression directly from the default TRI files of its head parts. This path does not require a loaded actor and works independently of Skyrim's paused FaceGen update. Mesh::SetMorph(triPath, morphName, value) and Mesh::ClearFaceMorphs() expose the lower-level direct morph controls.
Skyrim HKX clips animate the skeleton. Use direct TRI expressions for independent rendered faces, or SetFaceMorphSource when live expression, modifier, and phoneme mirroring is desired.
