Rigging etc.

Heyo guys!

I've a question about Milkshape. Yeah, I took the rexxar model from the campaignscreen and edited it a little bit. Then I deleted all bones like here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...rev=search=campaign%20orc&d=list&r=20&u=zerox, because I want to give him rexxar anims. But I don't know what to do in step 6? Can anyone explain me what "rerigg" is and how to give the bones from rexxar to the campaign screen one?

rep will be given ofc!

Make the bones
then rename each bones the same as the Wc3 Rexxar model

mhm, thx, rep is yours

but, is there any way to just copy the skeleton from the rexxar on my model?...and if I make the bones "from scratch" is the mesh automatic connected to the right bones?

 

[supertoinkz]

Well, i never rig anything, but as I know, there will be automatically assigned

that is the easiest way to do

ok thx supertoinkz, you saved my life
I can't rep you again

EdiT: Mhm, now I think I'm the biggest idiot ever -_-. I just can't make that the bones of rexxar show for me in milkshape. I have checked "show skeleton" but it still won't show to me... can anyone help me

rep will be give ofc! ^^

You can't get the bones of him into MS3D.
The only thing you can do is re-doing it and name it exactly as the rexxar model.

But you can export your model to .mdl and rigg it onto the skeleton off rexxar with vertex modfiy.
Just export the base rexxar model with magos and convert it to .mdl.
Then open it with Vertex Modify.
Now go to Tools-Select Vertices by Vertex Group, or something like that.
Then you can type in a number, take 1.
Now vertices should be selected.
For examples all vertices of the right arm.
Now you can merge the in MS3D edited campaign rexxar into Vertex Modify.
Then you select all vertices of the right arm and go to Tools->Assign Vertex Group, now you type in the Vertex Group number of the right arm of the base model.
Don't forget to delete the arm of the base model.
Now the right arm of your edited model should be attached to the bone of the right arm and move properly.
Now you just have to do it for the other vertex groups and model parts.
You don't have to make all vertex groups, only the biggest or the most important ones.

I wrote about that at this thread, too

If you have more questions you can also ask PyramideHe@d or DonDustin.

ehm, jeah, thx for the explaining +rep

but I've still one problem, my edited rexxar model (the one from the campaignscreen) doesn't have any bones. Or did you mean that I should merge the mesh of my edited one on the rexxar one and rigg it? but still thx I will try!

if you do it with vertex modfier, you don't have to make bones in ms3d
