Add weapon to model

[stein123]

Hey! i edited the One headed ogre made by sellenisko: OgreOneHeaded, to use it as an ogre mage, i removed both weapons, and deleted some anims i won't use, the weapon i want to add him is this: Orcish Staff , so the result would be this (this is photoshop btw):


If someone can do it i would be really grateful, but i would like to learn how to do it myself too, so if anyone can link me a tutorial or can attach one here it would help me even more, thanks!

These are the models to be merged:

I'll just make a simple tutorial here. Should be relatively easy, since it's just weapon transferring.

1. Download/Open Matrix Eater

2. Open both files:

Hidden

3. Go to File -> Import -> From Workspace

Hidden

4. Choose the weapon model

5. This large tab will open.

6. For Geoset, click "Import All".
For Animation, Bones, Objects, click the "Leave All" tab.
For Visiblity, click "All Visible in Exotic Anims" tab.

7. Click on the Matrices tab. From there, you will see this:

You would want to find the right bone the right hand is attached to. Find the bone which highlights the right hand in red:

Hidden

Now, select one of the staff's geoset:

And do this. Repeat the same for ALL of the staff's geosets, which are the one in orange.

Hidden

8. Once you've done all that, click Done.

9. The model will now appear as part of the Ogre's model. Position/Resize/Rotate it to where you see fit, and save.

If you somehow didn't get it right, I'll just link the model then.

Thanks a lot!! I'll try this and will report back!

Edit.: Thanks a lot for this tuto xYours Trulyx!!!! it worked flawlesly, i rotated and moved the weapon on mdlvis, but the rest worked perfect on matrix eater with your tutorial, thanks again, and this is the final result (credits to Sunchips, Sellenisko and you!):

Sorry for doubleposting but i also added team colour to the Ogre Butcher edit you made a while ago xYours Trulyx (also i recolored a bit to match it to the regular ogres skins), credits to Dionesiist, you and the Hive :,3

Good job there

I don't remember having anything to do with that Ogre Butcher model, though.
