Adding Portrait

How can i add a Portrait to a model?

There are 2 ways to do this if you have 3ds max and there's also a way or two if you can only edit models. Which one is it in your case?

You need to make a special portriate model, and name it right but this is a waste of space.

Just plonk a camera in Gmax down and it is done, so simple even I can do it and I suck at models..

I dont have 3d max, but I am not a modeler either. so what should i do?

hmm, well there's the model editing way. I think there was a tutorial about this somewhere...Here it is, scroll down until he talks about portraits: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=89922
It uses mago's model editor, which is a free tool.

Thanks, that really helped.

another problem

Now that i have placed cameras in few models, i noticed something.
The Portrait needs talk animation. So i said "No problam i will just transfer talk
animation from another model".
But when I used the talk animation (which was taken from a very similar model) on my model, only the head moved, and the mouth remained shut. so So how can I add to my Portrait talk animation (that will talk too...)?

there are no bones assigned for talk animation, leave it as it is, or you will need some moeling skills.
