How can I have different skins of the same model?
For example, I want to have several, let's say 8 different abominations. Maybe 1 that looks normal, 1 that looks bloody, one that looks like water. But 1 skin will replace the current one, so I can't have different looking abominations, is there a possible way to do this? Having several skins.

It should be something like this:
1- with the wc3viewer export the model you want to change the skin
2- convert the .mdx file to .mdl with the wc3FileConverter.
3- open the .mdl file with the notepad and set the skin file to whatever you want (example: textures/myskin)
4- convert the .mdl to .mdx again
5- import the .mdx (which should have another name from the original, of course :wink:)
6- import the custom skin and set the path to the one you choose before (example, same as before: textures/myskin)

That's it! This should work :smile:
By the way, check the tutorials first. There's one for your question if I remember well.

[EDIT]
Ouch, I forgot a pair of things. Added.
