[Solved] Adding an attachment point to a model

[King Klear]

Hi! I've finally got to working on a larger SC2 project. I'm making a survival horror style map (you can check out a preview - actually just the intro cinematic - on battle-net - search for "Escape from Death Row").

Anyway, I was looking into attaching weapons to the main character, using Prisoner model, and to my chagrin the model doesn't have a hand attachment point. I did manage to make a machete go through his head and chest, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for just yet.

I've searched for tutorials that could help me with this, but I've never really dabbled in modeling before so it's a bit overwhelming. Could someone point me in the right direction - what software I'd need add an attachment point, or better yet, modify the model for me? That would be awesome.

Thanks in advance,
Klear

Edit:
In case anybody's wondering, or needs to do the same thing as me, I've found what I was looking for here:

Email me a link to your model and where exactly you want the attachment point.

-REDACTED-

Also note that attachment points are much different than WC3 ones.

Your best bet would be to use the variable weapon attachments, I.E

Weapon 01
Weapon 02
Weapon 03

etc, to attach your weapon to.

For archive purposes I have made a quick tutorial on how to do this:
