Model Animations

[davylink]

I would like to animate different parts of a polygon, but only move one vertex, for example. I tried to link it to a bone, but the only I can do is to link the entire polygon.
I would like to animate things like the mouth of a unit without separating the polygons.
Thank you!

Warcraft 3 does not support vertex modififications. You have to cut up the meshes I'm afraid!

Pretty annoying when I made an animated flag :shock:

The easiest way is to detach all your polygons into triangles or squares. Add a bone in the center of each detached polygon, link them, aslo set the right controllers to the bone for animation and move and rotate them on any way you want. If you need more information on animating it to work, I will post more.
