Okay, so i just removed a sword and shield from a model, saved and imported it and put my own attachments on it. Works fine but there's a small problem, the portrait is missing!

How do i restore this? Would it be possible to go in somehow and use and existing portrait? I've noticed cameras pointed at the head when i open models in the viewer, can i add one of those?

I looked for a tutorial on this but didn't find one.

If you used Blizzard's standard model:
1. Open mpq file.
2. Find your model portrait.
3. Export it.
4. Import it in your map.
5. Set it's path to: "Your Model Path"_Portrait.

If you use custom model, import it's portrait and repeat step 5.

For example:
Unit path is: war3mapImported\MyUnit.mdx
Portrait path is: war3mapImported\MyUnit_Portrait.mdx
