Importing portrait model

[Keysi]

Ok,I am new to this so no flaming please.On tutorials on forum that I was reading it there are " Art - Model file - Portrait" in editor.So you can easily import your custom portrait.But in my editor there isn't Art - Model file - Portrait.Anyone knows to help? Thanks in advance.

I don't know where you read that, because there isn't such a path afaik.

If you're familiar with the MPQ Editor, you can find the path of the portrait of a unit (e.g.: the peasant portrait is "Units\Human\Peasant\peasant_Portrait.mdx").
Once you have that path, you can import another model and change the path name to that.

Note that the path names are almost all similar to the example above.
Thus footman's portrait path will be "Units\Human\Footman\footman_Portrait.mdx"
A grunt's portrait path will be "Units\Orc\Grunt\grunt_Portrait.mdx"
etc...

(And flaming? Why would anyone flame you for that? )

I will explain you what I meant.Here we have tutorial for importing Lich king model to wc3 : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?id=8xgzls&p=tutorial_import

Here is picture showing Art-Model file-Portrait thing that I was talking about : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/gfx/res_section/auto_tutorial/object_editor_fieldp.gif

So it is pretty easy to import model with it.But how I can import it when I don't have that in wc3 editor?

=___= that's for destructibles, not units.

Units automatically attach the portrait to the regular model.
So if you use the model for a unit, it will automatically use the portrait as well.
