@Mulgrim, Yes I know it's possible to add it in magos, but I want to add attachment points, so multiple units could use it in game :/

you still don't get it lol
attachments don't need attachment points, where the axises (X, Y, Z) intersect will be where your unit holds it, so based on that if you'd want the attachment to be held another way, you change its position. but maybe attachment points works for what you say, to avoid having 2 imports

Well this is where I wanted to get. I think I need to create bones, to create attachment points. It's just I don't know how to.

I face problems with the texture.
I follow all the steps, use the texture as BMP, and then convert to blp.
And saved in .mdl, I modified 'texture/white.blp' to 'NAMEBLP.blp' and then converted to mdx.
When I open with Wc3Viewer, the template works normally, showing all the colors and textures in the right places. But when I export to the map, it goes all white.
I made the 'bmp' using photoshop cs6.
And convert 'bmp' using BLP LAB (Because if I convert bmp to blp in wc3viewer, it gets 'dead' file with 0kbs and no content inside)
What can be happening?

The tutorial is great, worked nicely for my hammer model. However, a few things:
1) 7th step is a bit vague and unclear. Personally, I used tutorials below to properly asign textures. No other program is needed for texture/material asignment. Milkshape is enough.
1.
2.
2) About exporting the model - exporting to mdl messed up the model for me. I exported to mdx, and everything was splendid. Do not meddle with mdl and "white.blp". It won't be a problem.
Once you export to mdx, all your groups will automatically turn to geosets, and your materials to materials.
3) After exporting the model to mdx, just open it in Magos, import all the blp textures and attach them to model using material editor. (This is especially convenient if you only use WC3 textures)
