Question on attachment orientation

[Kimbo]

This bit always gets me confused.

are weapons normally attached to the left hand? or to the right? Shields left or right?
and when saving the model of an attachment, should its facing me like this:



D::||========> --->


and shields should be this way:
and shields kinda the same way, their top facing ---->

just..making sure x_X, i havnt made attachments in ages.
you get what i mean, i always gets these mixed up and im not sure. Since i have no access to chat i have to ask this quick Q here.

Attachments depend on the units you want them to fit with.If your going to make a footman shield,put it at an angle so it is at a slant such as \ rather than |
If your going to make attachments,I suggest making neutral items (swords that ARE NOT tilted left or right) so they can fit on either hand,but for shields,always make two that face Left & Right.

If you don't exactly get it,I can explain it with detail.

Yes, swords are usually attached via right hand, and shields vice-versa.

Well, on most units have the weapon in the left hand and the shield, if there's one in the right.
Different to heroes, that have the weapon in the right hand and the shield in the left.
