Flipping/Mirroring a Model?

[Sarowin]

Is there a way to flip a model vertically? For example on the Footman model, he holds his sword in his left hand, and his shield in the right hand. Is there a way to flip the model entirely so that all the animations work normal, but the model is just mirrored or flipped so that The sword is in the right hand and the shield in the left?
In Warcraft 3 Viewer, there is a glitch that occurs that does this, but it only can be viewed this way, and nothing can be done with the model.

Well, you'd have to either edit it in 3D Max, which I have no experience with, OR edit the bones of the Bandit model so that the legs don't mess up when you switch the anims with the Footman, then take a Footman Shield geoset and place it on the Sword hand, deleting the sword, then adding a Footman Sword geoset to the former shield hand.

Of course, that drinking anim of his can't be included, as it would bug too easily.

It's very hard to do that without 3dsmax. Let's say that you must inverse all the positions and quaternions. and the former ones are painful to inverse.

You also need to rearrenge faces data after that, so it's even more troublesome.
