An attempt at editing models

[Tal'Rarity]

Well... I am a newb/beginner and would appreciate it if anyone helped if they know how too and come across this.

I tried to edit the resurrect sfx model to grab the wings and helmet out of it, but it wont show up in-game as well I think I know the issue is the scaling and placement which I have no idea how to do. I basically put them as close to the X axis without going under it.

The reason I am attempting at doing this is because I want to learn how to do this at least, and not have to bug you guys for such simple tasks. I know making models is hard so I didn't wanna bother anyone.

but I can't figure it out as well I couldn't find a tutorial on attachments how to fit to villager or other units...

You might want to try out this tutorial:

Thank you, but I still don't get it. Will keep looking over it, and see if something failed in the materials or geosets.


EDIT: Sadly that told me nothing it seems. My two edits still don't work in-game after I removed all the un-needed textures and materials. That tutorial isn't for making attachments, but putting stuff on another model. Thanks anyways. I suppose I should just stick to using the same model twice. I should be able to figure this out, but I just can't.

I'm not as good as modelling as you are, but like I'm currently doing, practice and practice.

Oh, you need to convert them to mdx before importing.

I did the same mistake too when I started modding back in 2005.
