Merging portrait animations and a model.

[JesusHipster]

Ok, i've noticed a cool trend. People merge classical wc3 portrait animations into classic blizzard units. How do you folks do that?

I think they copy bones from the portrait model to the original one, then copy the animations using this or any similar tools

I have been trying that for months, but whenever I attach the certain vertices to the certain bones, the animations only work while playing portrait anims and not the rest ones.

I believe it's not how it's done. I think it has something to do with that new cool modeling tool introduced a couple of years ago.

You could have fucking guessed judging by my uploads that I know how to add or create teamcolour backgrounds and cameras. The question was very specific and I don't think that posting a link to a novice tutorial (with a misleading title) is a good move. If you have a choice between saying something for the sake of posting or saying nothing than I believe the first option is worse.

Hey, no need to be rude.

I don't know of any method to magically grow portrait bones and rig the mesh to them. So I do it the old-fashioned way, in Magos and MdlVis. I create all the bones that the portrait has, then make a new sequence well outside the range of the existing sequences, copy the rotations for each bone, and then rig the mesh to MdlVis. Typically, the bones are for the lips, eyelids, eyes and hair. It may be a time-consuming method, but it's less error-prone than Animtransfer. I don't know, maybe Retera's tool can do what Magos and MdlVis do separately. Never managed to run it, though.

Wanted to answer your PM only when I has a solution, I'll test it out today and write you then

Sorry, i think i overreacted alittle.

Well, old fashioned way is always a good one, but in the conditions of lacking of time, overwhelming lazyness and etc this way might be a solution to my personal problem
