For me it's okay and acceptable

For me it's nice. I love the tutu :*
I agree with what the others said so far. No biggie, it happens to me too.

open magos' node manager then look for the bone you want to attach the geoset to. the bone has to have the blue bone icon. nodes have the blue box thingy

You can attach geosets to bones using MDLVIS, in sequence editor look for the bones (or helpers) which contain the movement information and attach your imported geosets. And yes attaching something to wrong bones causes glitches in the movement.

Thanks for the help! I'll see if I can get it to work.

Alright so I tried attaching the vertices to the bones but I get the same result when I test it ingame? Why isn't it working?!

Maybe you don't attach the vertices to bones, but instead attach them to other objects like helpers or even event object.
Never attach vertices to anything else than bones for it will cause weird errors.

Why don't you post your WIP as an mdx/mdl in this thread so people might have a closer look?

I agree maybe someone can fix it quickly and save you a lot of time and effort.

Hold on people. one of the major reasons of geosets going awry is rigging to a helper object. it's easy to see in model editor, it being a speech bubble. the only way to fix that is to convert with mdlx converter to 'mdl' format. open it with notepad use the 'replace' command and replace all 'Helper' words with 'Bone'. then exit and only save when it asks you. otherwise it destroys the model.

after that, you can re-convert, test, and maybe re-attach vertices of said geoset with mdlvis.

That's a good idea, actually.

Gotta learn from somewhere. I need to know how to fix this.

I'll see how that works out.

Wow! It worked! Thanks so much! I'll get started on the portrait now!

@Mister_Haudrauf I need a little help on this if you don't mind.

Alright, I wanna re-wrap the wings to the frostwyrm skin. It looks fine on the back, but on the front it's invisible.

How do I fix this?

You have to set the Texture to 'Twosided' in MagosModelEditor.

Material Manager --> Texture of the Wings -->

Spoiler

(Only the marked spot is important for you. The rest is just a random texture of a model)
