I made this goblin in Oinkerwinkle's vertexmodify tool. It's a mix between the goblin sapper body and the goblin alchemist head. I need to know 2 things.. 1) How do I get the unwrap for this model
2) How can I make the head stay on in the animations?

1.) The unwrap of each Geoset can be used with Oinkerwinkle's VM by going up to Tool, and UV Mapping. I don't like Oinkerwinkle's, but meh. I think its the best free one.
2.) Attach the new geoset to a bone using Oinkerwinkle's Geoset Merger. Select the base, the geoset, and then the bone to attach it to.

Um... you think you could help me with that? I'm really not all too sure about how to do that. I attached the mdl and the mdx
EDIT: I did what you sai and now he only has 1 bone... so animations won't work and I don't know how to fix this....
EDIT2:Okay... I managed to do everything and it works fine.. well kinda... there's still two problems
1) His head shows up red and there is no texture for it to use and I can't find the unwrap even though i did what you told me to do with the "Tool, UV Mapping" So I'll attach the new model if you could take a look for me.
2) He's not centered and when I try to center him, his animations get all freaky.
(Newest version is Sapgineer.mdx)

Thanks I redid the model and it works fine now... (I followed that tutorial) Thank you so much. BTW... I used the goblin worker model from wc3campaigns... it was originally blizzard's model , but centered + he didn't say not to eit it w/o permission so... I guess it's fine. If you want me to, I'll attach the model, I'm still gonna give him a different weapon though.
