[Devine]

i need some help with modelling ! how can i copy a part of a model in to a new geoset without changing any bone and animation data?This question is for uv-map, So i can use all different sorts of skins without need to redo the animations.

what tool are you using? and could you explain yourself a bit more?

i use magos + oinkerwinkle tools

hmm, uniting 2 geosets but keeping animation data, requires you to edit the mdl directly using notepad(yet, very few people know of the orthodox mdl editing methods).

you have 2 options:

*-the first one is to make a normal geoset merge and then reassign the vertexes to their tvertex group (use the expand tool to help yourself)

*-The second one and most effective is to do it by hand, editing the mdl.

I doubt anyone in this site other than me and maybe frankie know as much of the mdl direct editing to make a tutorial; people no longer use those techniks since most tools now make what you made before editing the mdl directly.

I could guide you to indirect tutorials which could teach you how to edit the mdl directly.
